Eulogies are fine for what they are, but they cannot bring the dead back to life. Only Jesus Christ, crucified for our sake and raised from the dead, can and will do that. This is why Christian funerals are so important: they remind us that Death and Evil do not have the final say. Listen to Father Maney unpack the Christian hope of new creation and the resurrection of the dead and then resolve to give yourself to Christ, the author of life and first-born from the dead. Lectionary texts for today are Revelation 21.1-7; Psalm 23; 1 Corinthians 15.1-26, 35-38, 42-44a, 53-58; John 11.17-27.
