“Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.” – Hebrews 2:14-15
Death has been at the forefront of our news and conversations in 2020. The good news is that death has already been defeated! We don’t have to live in fear of death! Jesus destroyed death’s power by His own death.
Because we are flesh and blood, Jesus, the Son of God, became flesh and blood so that He could sacrifice His life on the cross and after His death, rise to life on the third day. At the cross, Jesus defeated Satan and shattered the power of sin and death over the lives of all who embrace Christ as Lord and Savior!
Because Jesus rose to life, all who believe in Him will also rise to life. Jesus is the resurrection and the life! If you believe in Jesus, then please don’t let fear of death control you, dominate your thoughts, or steal your enjoyment of life. Yes, death will come to us all one day unless Jesus returns first, but death is simply the door we pass through into an eternity in God’s glorious presence!
