Fatal car crash in Lincoln

This article - http://stuff.co.nz/4197246a11.html - tells of the pain of car accident deaths. On Saturday night a car with four 15 year old Lincoln High School students crashed on the open road just near the university dairy farm. The driver had her NZ restricted licence and, according to the article, was good at never carrying passengers, as per the restrictions on her licence. Yet on this one occasion this wasn't the case. Two girls died that night and one the next morning. One walked away.
The school and Lincoln township are in a state of shock. After several years of falling death rates on the roads 2007 has, so far, been awful. There are renewed calls in parliament to raise the driving age from 15 to 16 in an effort to reduce the poor road safety record in NZ.
Our friends Luke Bridge and Junita Douglass work as 24/7 Christian youth workers in the school and knew these girls. Liz's colleague Lyn knew them too, through her teenage daughter. Lincoln is a small community, despite having one of the biggest schools in the South Island.

What's a Christian response to this? We continue to pray for Luke and Junita as they grapple with the issues; and take the Christian message to the 15 year olds in Lincoln High, many of whom will never have had to face death before.

Some might say Revelation 4:10 - He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away - is a bit trite here, but I think not. This is true hope for those that know and love Jesus. None of us know when we will die, but for the Christian, the joy of knowing the old order of things will pass away is comfort.
It is a hard, hard time for these girl's families.
