In other words, we can begin to act like resurrection people - people living with hospice hope. Hospice has become our term for the approaching end of the line. Hospice means that all our wonderful medical technology has reached the end of what it can do. Hospice prepares us to look that oldest and ugliest enemy of humankind in the face, and that enemy is death. Christianity is hospice hope because it says that death is not the end and death is not the enemy.
Death is only the next step up to a better life and a better day.
Hospice patients beat the odds.
