A Daily Devotional About victory over death: 1 Corinthians 15:55 "Where, O death,
is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" (NIV) The sadness of losing
someone in death may keep us from seeing the realities of Christ. Death is the
final battle of our life on earth. No person on earth can escape the toll of the
terrorist called death. However, there is a great "However" because
death is an illusion. Instead of the illusion of defeat called death, we have the reality of victory in Christ. In Christ, we will never die if we accept
Christ as Lord and Savior. The forces of nature acting upon our physical body
will take physical life from us. However, in Christ, we have new eternal life.
What Satan will destroy in our body, Christ will lift up in our spirit. When
there appears to be certain defeat at the hands of Satan, there is certain
victory in the nail-scarred hands of Christ. As we approach the last steps of
our physical journey on earth, we have an eternal hope, for our journey of life
has no real end. When our physical earthly journey comes to an end, there is
instead, a new beginning�the beginning of eternal life in Heaven. In Christ,
the ultimate defeat of our earthly physical life called death becomes our
ultimate spiritual victory when we inherit eternal life in heaven. |
