To put in every effort to survive and be afraid to die—is that fear? or you just don't want to talk about it...
Christians cannot treat dying persons as though they are forgotten or unimportant in the current of life. . . . Once people fall out of the stream of active life, out of the economic and political currents that fuel the powerful of this world, we are apt to forget about them or to pretend that they no longer exist.
We must remember this: what we will do for Jesus will last, and what we do for the Devil will not.
This kind of language might seem excessive until we remember the words of our Lord in Matthew 25:41–46, especially these:
Depart from me. . . . I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me. (vv. 41–43)
