If we can deal with the death of the elderly, we are much at a loss to cope with it in a child, a young man, a young woman. I recall years ago when we had cows. In Spring, when the calves were one day removed from their mothers and taken to the calf barn, one would be wakened at night at the heartless, unending cries of the mothers bereft of their young. Even a dumb animal is overwhelmed in grief at sudden loss. And so it is in the arbitrary aspect of the death of the young that Jesus faces up to in his miracles of raising from the dead.
Death is one thing.
The death of the young another. And in doing so Christ lays His finger on the cause of death. And that is sin. And the young sin as well as the old. The tie, the link, is not years, but sin.
