For we who have our faith and hope in Christ Jesus do not mourn as the world mourns for we know that through the forgiveness of the sacrifice and blood of Jesus we will rise as Christ rose from the dead no longer subject to pain, sickness, and the evils of this world, no longer subject to death and decay that are part of this fallen world for in Jesus Christ all things are made new!
