Havie you ever been around someone facing death? How did he or she act? What does Jesus' response to impending death reveal about why he came to earth?

Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy

~John 16:20

I can't remember a time when I have been around someone that has been facing death.  Jesus' response reveals that although we will briefly grieve for a time but we will soon become joyful for that person having lived a good life
