Faith & Love: A One Year Bible Reading Plan - Part 1

DAY 19 OF 21

Through the announcement - "It Is Finished!" - Jesus broke the hold of darkness, death and doubt that governed life. He eternally made right a wrong through his physical death and opened the way for new possibilities.

Death strikes fear into people.

Even today.

However, Jesus spoke into that!

Jesus died to kill the fear and power that once lay there. Jesus - Son of God, Son of Man - was buried and laid to rest. If Jesus went there, I don't need to be afraid of going there because Jesus conquered the grave and I know tomorrow is there.

Death is finished with. There is an eternity. But there's also an every-day-life-on-planet-earth where eternity is already in play, where through the death and new life of Jesus the 'old' has no power. The old life is dead, and I don't need to fear or wonder about it because I am alive in Jesus' glorious new life. I am a new person, a new creation. This is our new experience. The power of life wins; the power of death is dead.
