Talking About Death (Ep154)

Death is a scary reality, and many parents struggle with when to talk to their kids about it. Should we wait until a loved one dies before talking about it? Or should we prepare our kids by talking about it in advance? Thankfully, Christianity’s unique and redemptive perspective on death gives us a way forward in navigating this discussion.
At the heart of Christianity is the God who became a human being in Jesus Christ in order to take our sin and brokenness on himself. He does this through his own death and resurrection, and for the Christian story these two realities cannot be separated. So, long before they know much else about the world, the children of Christian families have repeatedly heard the story of God’s own death and resurrection. And on top of this story, Christian children have been taught that through faith in Jesus, his death and resurrection conquer our death and resurrection. So ideally, there will never be a time when a Christian child hasn’t heard about death, but he or she will always understand that death has been conquered by Jesus and therefore has no sting.
