My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death have fallen upon me. (Psalm 55:4)

Death. Not many people like death. You may not like death because you don’t want to miss out on life, you don’t want to leave your family and friends, you don’t want to experience any pain, or you don’t want a loved one to die. When Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane He didn’t want to die. He asked His Father if there was any other way to save us, but the Father’s will was for death by the cross.

"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." (Romans 8:1)

There was a young boy who was about to receive a punishment from his parents because of his wrong action. This little boy had an older brother, who had a very tender heart and did not want his little brother to be punished. So the older brother walked up to his dad and asked to take on his younger brother’s punishment. The dad gave the older brother the punishment, but the father still talked to the younger son and told him what he did was wrong.
