So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and
this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the
saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. – 1 Corinthians 15.54
Resurrection Day is upon us again. Every Sunday is a day to remember the
resurrection of Jesus from the dead, but this one Sunday is a day we have
chosen to especially focus on this most important of all events.
It’s hard to know what passage to use on this day. The
resurrection is so key that it almost dominates scripture. I prayed about where
to go, and kept coming back to this marvellous truth – ‘death is swallowed up
in victory.’
Death
is crushed to death
Death
has no more dominion over us
Death
has no more sting
Death,
the last and greatest enemy, is destroyed
All
of this because Jesus conquered death.
On
this Easter morning, as we gather in our churches and fellowships and assemblies,
let us all rejoice that He is risen, death is conquered, and He has empowered
us to live a new life in Him.
The
victory is ours! Praise God!
