When a death occurs it seems as if death has one. We fight and fight to live but death is going to happen.

When someone we know dies it feels not just like a emotional and physical loss but an overall loss as well. Death, or sin, looks as if it's won.

However death shows us sin up close and personal. It shows us that we can try to defeat sin all we want but in the end we will always lose.

At the cross we see the defeat of sin. The one thing we couldn't do ourself Jesus does for us. Death allows us to see Jesus more clearly. We will always lose, Jesus always wins.
