Death is "not even" the final word

Jesus taught that we should not fear the end of our earthly existence - our souls continue.


Matthew 10:28 Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Do we ignore Jesus’ teaching to live without fear of death?

Note: Shane Claiborne in “The Irresistible Revolution” warns his readers: "All around you, people will be tiptoeing through life, just to arrive at death safely. But dear children, do not tiptoe. Run, hop, skip, or dance, just don't tiptoe" and "Dance until they kill you, and then we'll dance some more."
