From the Show

There is a difference between praying that someone would die and praying for someone because you don’t want to see them continue to suffer. Death is not the same for everyone. For the believer, death has been transformed. In John 11, Jesus told Mary and Martha, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.”
