The defeat of death is not just a future hope but a certainty already secured in Christ

TEXAS GOSPEL VOLUNTEER

Our culture tends to avoid the subject of death as much as possible, and when it cannot be avoided, it tries to push it further away through medicine and technology and anything else that might buy a little more time. And yet no matter how hard we try, death remains the one thing no one has ever managed to escape on their own. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 15:25-26 that Christ must reign until every enemy has been placed beneath his feet, and the final enemy to be destroyed is death itself.

The resurrection of Jesus was not simply a personal victory for him. It was the moment when death received a wound from which it will not recover. The fear that death has held over people for all of human history has already been weakened, and its final destruction is assured because of what Christ accomplished. One day death itself will die, and life will reign without end. That is not a wish or a dream. It is a promise backed by an empty tomb and a risen King.

But when this perishable puts on the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.

1 Corinthians 15:54
