“When we cease to rage against death, we have given up on life. Death is the horrible reality of our life that screams: “There’s something wrong with the world!” We try to hide that scream; silence it with distractions, pretend it’s not happening with anti-aging creams, and rationalise its existence with meaningless platitudes. We question the sanity of those who want to die but there is no greater madness than thinking we can avoid death. …”

– Phillip Jensen shares his reflections on the heartbreaking loss of a grandson.

Update: Phillip has also published the text of his sermon from Nathan’s funeral.
