A New Day-A New Say
Until Resurrection Day, death had the final say.
I wonder if Satan chortled an evil chortle in Eden as he thought he’d outsmarted God. Maybe thinking God had made a pivotal error of promising, even threatening mortality if Adam (and Eve) ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, though it was forbidden. Death, ha, ha! I imagine our adversary thinking. There’s no coming back from that! Image scrimmage. Ha, ha, ha!
Whatever laughter there may have been came to an abrupt end at Jesus’ Resurrection.
God’s work through Jesus Christ made all things new.
He is Risen.
A New Day. A New Say.
1 Corinthians 15:55 “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
A New Day. A New Say. Jesus did it all.
Colossians 2:9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority …13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, 14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. 15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
Do you realize how powerful this is? For thousands of years, mankind had mortality hanging over our heads like an executioner’s hood reminding us that death is imminent. It could happen at any second. All of mankind lived with a constant threat that something could come along–at any moment–and kill us and then, just like that, it’s over. Forever.
A new day with Resurrection
means that death no longer has the final say in your life and mine!
We don’t need to fear death at all! It no longer has a hold on us!
Jesus has the final say over your life–a glorious game changer with eternal results!
Have you received this free gift of eternal life in Him?
He graciously gives it to all who trust in Him. Just ask Him.
