From Francis Roberts, The Mystery and Marrow of the Bible:

"In and through Jesus Christ, the malignity, venom, poison, and mischief of death is removed; yea turned into great advantage unto God's covenant people. Not only the world, and life, but death also, with things present and to come, even all things are theirs, and they are Christ's, and Christ is God's. Death is theirs for good as well as life. . .What? Death theirs? Were it not better for them, death were not theirs? No. Death is their friend, not their foe. . .Of carnal men, it may be said, they are death's; they are death's slaves. . .But of Christians it may be said, death is theirs; theirs to serve them, to befriend them, to do them good. . .” (p1553).
