First a widow, and now childless. Death derives its power from sin. Death is the consequence of our first sin in Paradise. God created us to live forever in His garden of happiness and peace. However, you and I disobeyed God, which resulted in death.
Death is something that meets every man, woman and child.
Outside the city gates a battle would be fought between a pale horse and a white horse. A mighty king approaches, to whom is given all power in heaven and in earth. This king, who is the Prince of life, has both the power to save and to destroy. This king derives His power from the everlasting love of His Father. Christ as the conqueror of death derives His power from His mediatorship.
