Every person of every age of every generation of every tribe faces what seem to be two realities; Life...and Death. But, the truth is there is only one reality for the believer in, of, and with God. That one reality would be Life. The other seeming-reality will fade one day and be gone...forever.
The work Jesus did while on earth is the utmost of grand signals that, through him, Death met its maker. And Death...died.
Yes, Death suffered a horrible blow when, for three days, it surely sighed in a false glory that it had defeated yet another one in his early thirties who rested in his own grave. How many millions of times over the years had Death strutted its stuff at such repeated scenes. How many tears of heartbreak had been shed...oceans of accumulation.
Fortunately, the time came and Jesus got the Word from Father that it was time to break Death's back. Hanging on the Cross, giving testimony to Father, Jesus entered through Death's front door brave and confident. He submitted himself in all of his glory so that each of us could experience, personally forevermore, the breaking of the one who had hoped to breathe constant misery upon us all...Death.
It's okay! Go ahead! Believe it! It's true!
O death, where is your victory O death, where is your sting? I Cor. 15:55...and verses 56-58 provides the answer.
Death. Met. Its. Maker.
