In the Word: The Grim Shepherd
He visits every living thing, but those with understanding need not be afraid

To have faith in the God of resurrection is to believe that when we die, out of the darkness of the night we go to the morning. It is to realize that God can pay the ransom, and he will take us home to be with himself.
And that understanding changes everything. For the believer in Jesus Christ, for the righteous person, we do not go out into death and into darkness. Instead, we go home to God.
