The Death of Death
He died, but he vanquished death; in himself he put an end to
what we feared; he took it upon himself and he vanquished it, as a mighty
hunter he captured and slew the lion. Where is death? Seek it in Christ,
for it exists no longer; but it did exist and now it is dead. O life, O
death of death! Be of good heart; it will die in us, also. What has taken
place in our head will take place in his members; death will die in us
also. But when? At the end of the world, at the resurrection
of the dead in which we believe and concerning which we do not doubt. (Sermon
233.3-4)
