O Death, Where is Thy Sting?

Word of the Week

Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.
Our God is a God who saves; from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death.Psalm 68:19-20
Church,

So many people in this world try to escape the inevitability of death. They exercise, eat well and try to remain healthy. Some even go to more extreme methods like pressurized oxygen chambers and blood transfusions with younger blood.

In all the ways this world tries to avoid or delay death there is only one true way to escape the grasp of death. That escape only comes in the hands of the Lord Jesus Christ. By His sacrifice, we escape death and live eternally. We do not have to live under the penalty of sin today and we escape the judgment of our sin tomorrow.

Death for so many feels like a looming inevitability but for the Christian it holds no sting. Praise God that He has rescued us from hell, death and the grave!

Amen,

Kris

1 Corinthians 15:55-57
Oh death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
