Not everyone deals with death in the same way. For some this is a hypothetical question, for others a present reality. Some choose not to think of it, others do everything they can to prepare. We tend to run to extremes: shall we ignore death and focus on the present or ignore the present and focus on what comes next? Of course the answer is neither, but it is also not simply “both/and.” Instead, the way we express our hope in the face of death is by investing in this present life. In this sermon on Genesis 23, Pastor Luke Herche helps us to think rightly about facing death, offering us three ways to respond: mourn over the brokenness of this age, live in the tension of God’s promises, and hope in the face of death by investing in this present life.
