And then God shall wipe away all tears from our eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, neither crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the first things are passed. Reve. 21.4. So that even in this world, Insultare morti licet, 1tanquam subactae, quia Christi victoria nostra est. We may triumph over death as conquered, because the victory of Christ is ours.

Why should you tremble at the remembrance of death?
