Weak and Loved: training: To the children, death means little. They hear about it often, but death is defined for them not by the cemetery, or by grief, or by their own personal losses. The word death, for them, is always connected to Jesus' death and resurrection.
Before their hearts are broken by death, they hear of Him who was broken to destroy it. Before they taste great suffering, they taste and see that the Lord is good. Before they are bowed down by death’s reality, their feet are anchored into the reality of God’s love for us in Christ.
. . . For the Christian, darkness does not overcome. Even in the depths of sorrow, we have been trained to look forward. We know what comes next.
