Most of us find comfort in being told that we are going to go on living; the apostle Paul was comforted when he was told that he would soon be dying [see Philippians 1:21]! He kept referring to death as that which was "far better." The fact that we don't view death with optimism just might be because we think of death as taking us from our home rather than bringing is to our home! Unlike Paul, we have become so attached to our tent that we just don't want to move.
