Where, O Death, Is Your Victory?

“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. — 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 

Before Jesus, the sting of death is sin.

And the power of sin is the law.

But we are thankful that God gives us the victory.

And that though the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Death no longer holds the victory.

And no longer has the ability to sting.

Where, O Death, Is Your Victory?

Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law. — 1 Corinthians 15:55-56

Yesterday one of my coworkers stopped by with her 4-month old baby.

She was adorable and wouldn't stop laughing and smiling.

"How sweet to hold a newborn baby and feel the pride and joy she brings.

But sweeter still the strong assurance this child can face uncertain days because He lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow."

Death is no longer victorious.

It no longer has such a strong sting.

The sting of death is sin.

And the power of sin is the Law.

And Jesus has overcome death and sin.

Praise God!
