“Jesus- man’s best friend, has conquered death- man’s worst enemy.”
“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death I sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
(1 Corinthians 15:55-57)
Good morning. As we take time to reflect on all the Lord Jesus did for us, I pray and trust you will have a very blessed time. May we take the time to reflect on Christ’s great sacrifice and glorious resurrection for us. May we understand and appreciate His amazing love, and rejoice in His glorious power! Arguably the 6 greatest words ever spoken were spoken 2,000 years ago at the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. The first 3 “It is finished”, redemptions price has been paid, and “He is risen”, He has conquered death, and hell, and grave for us.
I am often reminded that the hymn writers often say it best, and I enjoy referencing them. One of my favorites says this:
“Living, He loved me;
Dying, He saved me;
Buried, He carried my sins far away;
Rising, He justified freely forever:
One day He’s coming- oh glorious day!”
(J. Wilbur Chapman, 1910)
