Death has died!!

It was on this day his body was in the grave. Would he stay? You know it was never God’s desire for anyone to die. When he created the first man and the first woman they were perfect. If they would have obeyed him and never sinned I don’t think they would have aged. God wants us forever. But then we sinned. That changed everything. Aging, disease, death, all that came along with sin. We couldn’t fix it. Still can’t. Only God could do that. A perfect sacrifice was required. The blood shed from perfection. That was Jesus. God’s son who also being God came here and in a human body. He felt what we feel. He also was tempted but never sinned. And then brutally tortured and killed. He could have stopped it. But he didn’t. He was obedient to death. The story didn’t end there. Tomorrow he rises! The grave was empty. No body!! A full on resurrection! A brand new body! Unable to age or die. I Corinthians 15:20 But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead! He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died!! Do you know what this is saying!! Death has died!! Oh yes, like Jesus our bodies will die! But we will live! And we will get new bodies that will not age. We will not die again! This is the true message of Easter! He is risen!! What a hope we have if only we trust and believe!! Do you? Please consider it!! Lord, we know we cannot save ourselves! Our very heartbeat relies on you to sustain it!! Thank you for your suffering for our sake! More so thank you for killing death!! Our death!!
Be thankful today and everyday for what he has done!!
