Death Where is Thy Sting?

There is one Greek icon of Christ in the tomb, which is entitled "the extreme emptying (kenosis)"

There is a term in English, cenotaph, which means an empty tomb erected to commemorate someone whose remains are unavailable for entombment (e.g. those lost at sea).

Each of us must one day die, whether we are Muslim, Christian, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, etc.

There are no doctrinal disputes regarding the inevitably of death. Death is a fact of life.

Death is a great emptying, or emptiness. We give up our every possession. Funeral shrouds have no pockets

But, if there is something, some thought, idea, belief which can dispel one’s fear of death, then that belief is powerful, apart from any question of its facticity.

Paul hinted at being "in the world, but not of the world."

"Death, where is thy sting? Grave, where is thy victory?" - 1 Corinthians 15: 54-57
