"Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." -1 Corinthians 15:55-56
Today, and every day, I praise God for an empty tomb!
I praise God that there is victory over sin and death.
I praise God for His love that is eternal.
I praise God for His grace that is eternal.
I praise God for His forgiveness that is eternal.
I praise God for His life that is eternal.
"Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!" -Luke 24:5-6
Can you imagine it?! Can't you just hear the Father as He looks down from Heaven at His Son laying in the tomb having been crucified for our sins saying, "Arise, my love! The grave no longer has a hold on you! Sin, where is your victory? Death where is your sting? Hell has been defeated! Arise, my Son, the victorious King!"
There is no greater reason to celebrate today and every day! Sin and death have been defeated! We can live free! We are called to freedom!
"Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." -1 Corinthians 15:58
The LORD is risen! He is risen indeed!
