weekender march 7 1987 weekender march 7 1987 p3j elision page anger a common emotion after death of a loved one ffv 9s r ft i- v siss i hate you i hate you i hate you i yelled into the night addressing my illusive enemy he has stolen yet another loved one from my life if death were a person i could see i sometimes feel i would become a wild man tearing him limb from limb funerals are more than just a professional duty for me they are times when i am brought face to face with the grim reaper when i am assaulted with his success one out of one dies and when i see his trail of carnage i always feel the loss especially if its someone who ive grown to love i often ex perience anger anger at the time of a death is a common emotion its a harsh intense emotion but a good one nonetheless the danger in our anger is not its intensity or its expression but its focus most of us direct our anger towards god believing hes the culprit in our loss why didnt he intervene how could a loving god allow this what we fail to realize is god is just as angry as we are he however focuses his an ger on the real enemy death itself this is clarified by an in sightful historical account in the eleventh chapter of johns gospel lazarus a close friend of jesus had died four days lapsed before jesus returned to the area he had missed the funeral but not the pain he wept sharing grief with the family mixed with his grief however was furious anger the narrative which says he was deeply moved in spir it and troubled means literal ly he snorted in his spirit like a war horse preparing for bat tle and ready for battle he was after declaring himself to be the resurrection and the life he called in a loud voice lazarus come out in absolute shock and won der people watched as the tomb was opened and lazarus still bound in grave clothes walked out jesus anger at death was not just a helpless passive frustration it was active he did something about it he didnt just spite death he des troyed it weeks later his own cruci fied body was laid in a cold stone tomb the demons of hell were ecstatic with glee their only real challenger was captured death once and for all would reign supreme or so they thought ive been to that tomb its wide open the epitaph on the door sends shivers through hell but sheer joy through the hearts of people everywhere it simply proclaims the greatest fact of history he is not here he is risen editors note dave petres- cue is senior pastor at union- ville alliance church sixyearold joel green of stouffville had his hands and plate full during a shfove
