“Jesus came to save us. He died but at the same time he conquered death. He put an end to what we fear so much. He took it on and conquered it. So be of good heart, my friends. What has already taken place in Jesus will also take place in us. Listen to those who have triumphed and now live where death is no more. Hear Paul saying, ‘When what is mortal has been clothed with what is immortal and when that which will die has been clothed with what cannot die, then the Scripture will come true: Death is destroyed, victory is complete! Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?’”

Sermon 233, 3-4
