The Ultimate Wrong Made Right

What about the pain of death? It is a wretched assault on everything that matters, particularly when the life of a young or innocent person is taken from us. But although grief is our greatest pain, it really isn’t different from any other pain. In our grief, there are still opportunities to be seen.

How precious would life be to us if there were no cost, if there were no limitations or end to it? When we experience death, life becomes a frail and wondrous thing to be enjoyed above all else.

God also saw death as an opportunity. He sent His young and innocent Son to die on the cross so that death would be no more.

Even something as wrong as death matters when we see it as an opportunity to remember that all things will one day be made right. In the midst of your grief, you can still see as God sees.

For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. —1 Corinthians 13:12
