Hope

"There are still so many things I don't know. If a drowned man can awaken, then I believe a broken man can heal." 
That is a quote from "The Shipping News" after a fisherman presumed dead at his own wake, 'wakes up'.  The protagonist believes that if a man can come back from the dead, he can come back from incredible suffering and loss.
The resurrection means more than we get to beat death.  It means that that the Kingdom of God is already inaugurated and the reversal of the curse over the whole of creation has begun. All that is the result of the Fall is being destroyed.
All that is sad is becoming untrue.
