Death, an interesting concept; one humans fear, deny, ignore, face. For an Atheist and Agnostic death must be a depressing idea, for in their view we die and are no more… we cease to exist. It is as if they find an escape in this idea. For Pie death has become a true possibility. He is trapped within its grasp and he is fighting to escape it. Yet for all the lengths the human race takes to stay alive we all will die. Death for a Believer in Jesus Christ is a blessing. We live in a world marinated in and controlled by sin. Physical death brings us into the place our soul longs for, into the very presence of the Author of life. It is spiritual death that has great power, Pie in this statement captures both of these deaths, spiritual and physical. To be spiritually dead, is to be without life, physically one can exist without truly being alive. Pi is faced with being in a place of truth about life and death.
