In The Hours

But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 1 cor 15: 20-25

Christ has conquered death for us. Although, for a little while we are still fighting the battle with death, we know that in Christ it cannot triumph over us. Even in death there is victory, because in Christ there is Victory over sin! Christ killed sin in his death and in His ressurection He killed death's hold here on earth. Today I remember the promises He has made to His own and encourage you to turn away from a life of sin and death toward a life rooted in Christ.
