       See, Paul knew that by staying on the earth he could help his fellow brothers and sisters in Christ—he wasn’t a selfish individual. He knew that would rack up more and more rewards for himself in Heaven (and we are going to talk about this shortly). He knew that Heaven was going to be a great place. So death then is a release from this life, from the burdens, pains, and troubles that come to us in our lives. Many folks look at death as a negative thing, and it certainly is in some aspects, especially for those who we leave behind here on the earth. However, for the person who is dying, it means he or she is no longer tied down by the cares and concerns of this life. This current life is over for the person. So, a person’s concerns pertaining to the salvation of family and friends, the need to make money, the need to do a good job at whatever it is that the person was doing, the maintenance of relationships, taking care of one’s body—all those cares are gone; they are done for.
