As death approaches, a range of emotions envelop the dying one. Deep grief casts a long shadow that for many (nearly 77%) turns to depression and hopelessness. The family and loved ones of the terminally ill likewise experience a range of emotions while taking on the tasks of caregiving added on to already full lives. In a culture that worships the gods of individualism and privacy, both the dying and their loved ones are often isolated as death draws near — friends step back, making the walk through the valley of the shadow of death a very lonely way. There is a better way. How does the family of God get beyond the casserole and wrap the dying and their loved ones in meaningful care and support? How can pastors involve church members in caring for the dying and those who grieve? How can teachers and students provide care when death is in their midst? What ought such care look like? What does our Lord teach us about these things? What resources are available? This discussion will get you thinking about these things in your context and how you and your church/school can be more intentional when death draws near for those in your midst.
Lutheran Church in Lancaster on The Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity
We rejoice this Sunday to hear and consider Jesus’ famous story, “The Parable of the Good Samaritan,” from Luke 10:23-37. We consider our Lord who, the true Good Samaritan, came down to us in our lost and dying condition, pouring on the oil and wine of the Sacraments. He placed us on His own animal, bearing our sin and brokenness in His body on the cross to restore us. Jesus brought us to the inn, that is, the Church, and gave the innkeeper two denarii, that His double forgiveness might continue to be ministered to us. In this way the Lord, by whose Law we are torn and stricken, heals us and revives us by His Gospel and raises us up with Himself.
