He is risen! Alleluia! The bondage of Satan is broken. The second death has no power over us. We have been reconciled and restored to God as his adopted sons and daughters through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Physical death is not to be feared. For it is only an instant in the whole spectrum of one's life. Before Christ, death meant entering into a state of nothingness. Now, because of Jesus, death opens us to the eternal life with God, our destiny, if we have lived with him in this life. That is why we proclaim, Alleluia! What joy! What expectation! What celebration! Thank you, Jesus! How important it is that I live in Christ and Christ lives in me.
