One Teacher who is greater than death

David Warren writes that death is the great teacher. Death may look hard,

but it is actually quite easy. It requires, indeed, no effort whatever on our part. It is breathing that requires some effort.

It is a paradox of Love that, like God, those who truly know another character must necessarily know them at their weakest. Yet only by knowing a person at her weakest, can we see & appreciate her at her strongest, too, as high mountain above low valley.

As he writes about the recent death of his mother, Warren emphasizes at the end of his post that there is one Teacher who is greater than death. Here, of course, he is talking about Jesus Christ Crucified and Resurrected.
