Most people shy away from thinking about their death, much less talking about it.  It puts fear in the minds of many and dread in their hearts.  In Philippians 1:21 Paul wrote, “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”  You heard that right!  Paul said that, for a Christian, death is profitable.  When a Christian dies he has much to gain.  He gains a better body – one no longer subject to sickness, death and decay.  A better home – a home with God and all His people.  A better environment – away from the sin and sorrow we so often experience in this world.  No wonder Paul wrote that to depart this world and be with Christ is far better!
