"Death swallowed up by triumphant Life!
Who got the last word, oh, Death?
Oh, Death, who's afraid of you now?
It was sin that made death so frightening and law-code guilt that gave sin its leverage, its destructive power. But now in a single victorious stroke of Life, all three—sin, guilt, death—are gone, the gift of our Master, Jesus Christ. Thank God!" ~1 Corinthians 15:54b-58
I have gone from celebrating this passage once a year to meditating on it everyday. Because it's not just candy and bunnies for me anymore. It's a matter of life and death.
