God has taken the sword of our enemy and turned it into a healing scalpel.

When death came to Christ and touched Him, it was not Christ, but death itself that was forever changed. The door which carried us away from God’s presence was made into an entrance. Because of Christ, death does not carry us away from our hearts desire, but carries us to it. In this sense we are able  to view death no longer as an enemy, but as a friend. “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.”
