Christ Has Conquered Death
"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” — John 16:33
We worship a risen, living Savior, who has promised to give immortality to all who believe on His name. No longer do men and women need to stumble in the fog and darkness of hopelessness. A Light shines brighter than the noonday sun, offering hope to everyone who has been born again. Jesus promised, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.” (John 11:25-26) We expect death, but we always have a glimmer of hope that medical science will discover something that will keep us alive a little longer. Death carries with it a certain dread. From the day that Abel was killed, people have dreaded death. It has been the enemy, the great, mysterious monster, that makes people quake with fear. The greatest news that the mortal ear has ever heard is the news that Jesus Christ has risen from the dead as He promised. His resurrection is the chief proof of the Christian faith. It's the truth that lies at the very foundation of the Gospel. Everyone can know the power of the resurrected Christ. Through disappointments and trials, through all the circumstances of life, the resurrected Christ will go with you, if you will put your trust in Him by faith. If you don't know the power of the resurrected Christ, if you have never knelt at the foot of the cross and had your sins forgiven, let the resurrected Christ come to dwell in your heart and give you the power to meet the problems of the day.
