The hope of resurrection is an aspect of our longing for God’s kingdom; and
the abolition of death is undeniably an element of the kingdom of God.
Anyone who does not have the courage to accept this in all earnestness and
give himself to the fight against death, he, we rightly can say, ought not
be called a disciple of Jesus...All the words and works of God in Christ
breathe the abolition of death.
