Why is Jesus' example of facing death important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus’ example in facing death helps Christians know how to confront their own mortality with faith and assurance.

Jesus’ words, 'Father, into Your hands I commend my spirit,' serve as a model for how Christians are to face death. His calm acceptance and trust in the Father provide a template for believers, encouraging them to view death not as an end, but as a transition into eternal life. The peace that Jesus exhibited demonstrates that death is a vanquished foe for those in Christ, who can face it with hope. This assurance is echoed by Paul in 2 Timothy 1:12, where he expresses confidence in God’s ability to keep what is entrusted to Him, encouraging believers to adopt a similar attitude.
