He paid with His blood - the cost of our sin which separates us from a relationship with God. God - through Jesus resurrection gives us hope of eternal life. But, God understands. And in Jesus Christ God has given us the best answer we can understand. Without Jesus there is no hope.
Death is the end.
Life is empty. With Jesus there is always hope. Life goes on with God. This was David s hope, I will go to him, but he will not return to me. Today, that faith is realized.
