“Death is not final for Jesus who has the power to restore the dead to life. Neither is death the last word even if Jesus is not anymore around us, because physical death is like being asleep on account of the resurrection that awaits us. Rather, what we have to fear is the second death that will happen if we live evil lives, because then, we will rise but only to be condemned.”
