We cannot, as Christians, talk about death without talking about God. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.” (1 Corinthians 13.12) (Mirrors, in Paul’s day, were made of polished metal and often gave a dim reflection.) And, in his presence, we shall know ourselves as he knows us. Judgement means seeing ourselves through God’s eyes: looking at the whole story of our lives through God’s eyes, with God’s compassion, mercy, truthfulness, and justice. The Society is holding a day conference, “Death be not proud”, on Saturday 18 November.
