How Do We Explain Death to Our Kids?

Episode 788 Show Notes

From the Show

In John 11, we see the heart of Jesus as he weeps hearing the news of the death of his friend, Lazarus. In that text we are confronted at the pain and suffering we face in this world. Too often we try to airbrush death, but the strong language that the Bible uses is a good thing. We can talk about sorrow. But we don’t sorrow as those who don’t have hope.

My wife has a hard time believing that the Bible is God’s word. I’m always hearing that the Bible is the Word of God, but I know that the Bible was also written by man. How do I make sense of these two points?
