Death: A Painful Reminder

A Sonnet that I have written about grief, and giving hope through Jesus' Passion

From the beginning of the Fall.
From the consequence of sin, death came to all.
A painful reminder of our humanity.
When it takes a loved one away, it will drive one to insanity.
Even though death is such a painful reminder.
The grief that puts one through, like a grinder.
A better reminder is the one that Jesus conquered death at the cross.
Death and Hell can't even recover the loss.
O death, where is your sting?
It's sting is sin, and Jesus, through His blood, washes it away, praise the king.
O grave, where is your victory?
Jesus, giving praise to Him, gave us victory through a tree.
To a Christian to live is Christ, to die is to gain.
In the End, after God's judgment of sin, will the whole world become wholly His again.
