The Importance of Lamenting
I think to show an appropriate way of approaching the very real fear of death, et cetera. And as much as obviously we want to take this very seriously, it may also be an opportunity for the church to be a light in a difficult way. I was reading a book just the other day, which was expounding Jesus' tears at the tomb of Lazarus even though Jesus knew he was going to raise Lazarus. We can live into stories like that, and just hold onto it without seeking a resolution,. Just stay there, and lament and weep if you need to. That would be the first thing. Brilliant.
