How to face death, before death. We are often given a second chance at life through some experience related to death, death of a loved one or a glimpse of our own mortality. To save  one’s life, you must lose it. Whoever loses his life for Jesus will save it. Jesus teaches us about conversion and yet we have such difficulty learning it. Jesus wants us to read reality with a view of both life and death.
