Medical researches are working,
and working,
and working,
tirelessly;
to find a cure for cancer,
a clue t o the mystery of Alzheimer's,
and ways to conquer a host of other debilitating diseases.
YET,
what if you awoke to headlines, saying,
DEATH DESTROYED!
Should you believe it?
Would you believe it??
Could you believe it???
**
The New Testament in the Bible,
proclaims that,
for the believer in Christ,
death has been destroyed
-- reduced to inactivity
-- rendered to incapable of doing what it once did.
"So when this corruptible has put on
incorruption,
and this mortal has put on
immortability,
then shall be brought to pass
the saying that is written:
'Death is swallowed up in Victory' "
(Corinthians 15:54)
*
This GOOD news is for
EVERYONE.
You hear me?
EVERYONE!!!
To everyone who will receive it;
just as the angel told the shepherds when Jesus was born,
"Do not be afraid, for behold,
I bring you good tidings of great joy
which will be to all people.
For there is born to you this day
in the city of David a Saviour,
who is Christ the Lord!"
(Luke 2:10-11)
*
The birth of Jesus was the beginning of the end for death.
*
"The sting is death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ!"
(1 Corinthians 15:56-57)
And that's why we celebrate Christmas!!!
*
Mild He lays His glory by,
Born that man no more may die.
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth. --Wesley
