For those of us who do entrust ourselves to Christ, then death becomes just like sleep, from which we will all awake. God creates Eden after banishing the darkness and creating light but that night grew long as the curse took hold. But when this world is over and God creates the New Heavens and the New Earth, he will not just banish the darkness during the day, but forever.

Don’t You Care that We’re Dying? (Matthew 26)
We need sleep, but too often we want sleep on our own terms. When our sleep is not ordered and life giving, it no longer serves as a bridge that God provides to escape the darkness of night, but becomes instead a destructive spiral into deeper darkness.
