People sometimes worry about the end of the world, but the truth is that the world ends all the time. Whenever there is a death, the world ends. Thoughts and memories, little bits of songs from second grade, quirky personal theories all vanish. Every time someone dies, their unique view of the world goes with them. Every time someone dies, it is, at least as they see it, the end of the world. When the world ends, Jesus sees. When the world ends, Jesus has compassion. When the world ends, Jesus says "rise!"
