It seems to contradict the spirit of our season, of All Souls’, All Saints’, and Remembrance, but in the face of the evidence of scripture we must affirm that Christ empties tombs, that Jesus unbinds the dead and lets them go. We must embrace a future in which ‘death will be no more’ and in the meantime we must permit God to remove from us ‘the shroud that is cast over all peoples, the sheet that is spread over all nations’: the heavy weight of death which oppresses us. And we must learn to live as if death is not.
– Not my usual 'remember your granny' All Saints' sermon. Instead, There is no death, in Christ, today.
