THERE IS NO DEATH With the resurrection of Christ, death has forever been deprived of its power over those who come through faith in His Son. “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? Thanks be to God Who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” God has given His believers the victory over death and the grave through the Easter triumph of His Son. “I am the Resurrec tion and the Life,” says Jesus, j “whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die.” Through His death in the place of men, Christ paid the penalty for the sins of all mankind. By raising His Son on Easter morn ing the Father showed that He had accepted the payment as sufficient. Easter is the certifica tion of Good Friday. And now because Christ died and rose again, the believer, too, shall rise to live with Him for ever. That is why the poet could write, “It is not death to die.” Christ has conquered death! Be with us on Easter morning to worship this risen Savior Who rose victoriously over sin, death and hell.
