The precious claim of Jesus is that He has rendered death powerless, depriving it of its force, and annulling the marriage of those who trust Him to it.

 This is the Good News indeed, or the Gospel as we call it. When death came to Christ and touched Him, it was not Christ, but death itself that was forever changed. The door, which carried us away from God's presence, was made into an entrance into His presence. God has taken the sword of our enemy, and turned it into a healing scalpel. Believe it!

“…grace was given to us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time…Jesus has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the good news.” Conversations Within ts 2/19/2023
