Christ taught an astonishing thing about physical death: not merely that it is an experience robbed of its terror, but that as an experience it does not exist at all. To “sleep in Christ,” “depart and be with Christ,” “fall asleep,”—these are the expressions the New Testament uses. It is high time the “icy river,” “the gloomy portal,” “the bitter pains,” and all the rest of the melancholy images were brought face to face with the fact: Jesus Christ has abolished death.
J. B. Phillips
“At the end of every seven years you shall grant a release. And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release what he has lent to his neighbor; he shall not exact it of his neighbor, his brother, because the Lord’s release has been proclaimed. Of a foreigner you may exact it; but whatever of yours is with your brother your hand shall release.”
Deuteronomy 15:1-3
The Revised Standard Version
