"This sickness will not end in death." Jesus speaks directly to me in this. As believers, we still struggle day to day with temptations. When we fail to those temptations, we can sink down the lowest possible low of sin and wonder where death is.

But the sickness does not end in death. Through his atoning sacrifice Jesus has saved us from that death. It may not be completely visible through the rubble, but death is not the end. In our day to day trials and temptations, there are times when we will fall. But each time is an opportunity to rise back up and recognize the forgiveness extended to us. Christ has redeemed us and tho death may seem like the only thing suitable for us, God continues the work he began in us until its perfect completion.
