He did so with his teaching, above all by facing death Himself.

to free us from the slavery of death.
-Pope Benedict XVI

 April 30

Don't let your hearts be troubled.  Trust in God and, trust in me.  There are many rooms in my Father's house.  I would not tell you this if it were not true.  I am going there to prepare a place for your will come back and take you with me so that you may be where I am going.
