You Can Beat It!
March 30, 2013

The radio ad for an upcoming seminar sounded intriguing. The announcer said, “You can beat death—for good! Attend my seminar and I’ll show you how.” I wondered for a few moments what the speaker would claim could beat death and what his suggestions might be. Perhaps something about diet or exercise or freezing our bodies? After listening a little longer, though, I realized he had said, “You can beat debt—for good.”

The most wonderful news is that we can beat death because Jesus paid our debt! (1 Cor. 15:55-57). Our debt of sin meant separation from God, but Jesus willingly gave up His life and was crucified on a cross to pay what we owed. As Mary Magdalene and another Mary went to the tomb on the third day to anoint His body, an angel told them: “He is not here; for He is risen, as He said” (Matt. 28:6). With great joy they ran to bring His disciples the word. On their way, Jesus met them and said, “Rejoice!” (v.9). Jesus had risen, and His followers had reason for rejoicing.

Jesus has removed the sting of death (1 Cor. 15:55). Now we too have victory by believing in the Son of God’s death and resurrection for us. Through Jesus’ perfect work, we can beat death—for good!

Dear Lord, thank You for sacrificing Your life for our
sins so that we might live. We’re thankful that because
You died and rose again, we can have assurance that
one day we’ll be with You in a place of no more death.

We owed a debt we couldn’t pay; Jesus paid a debt He didn’t owe.

Read: Matthew 28:1-10

O Death, where is your sting? —1 Corinthians 15:55

Bible in a Year:
Judges 9-10; Luke 5:17-39

Jesus Christ Superstar was a monumental work, especially considering composer Andrew Lloyd Webber was only 21 years-old and lyricist Tim Rice was 25. They picked up where Pete Townshend left off in Tommy and where Galt MacDermot left off in Hair. Webber brought the Rock Opera into legitimacy - a true art form. There's much could be said about the operatic and oratorio traditions employed, the sheer magnitude of the project and the artistry of the various casts. In my opinion, Ian Gillan was the perfect voice to portray Christ. His passion, range and professionalism was well established with the band Deep Purple and when he didn't choose to go on to Broadway and the movie, I was disappointed. But, that was not my greatest disappointment.

John 19:41 "Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid."

I suppose you can guess that I feel just one more selection was needed. Jesus Christ Superstar is unfinished and stands broken and blemished in my eyes and ears. The story doesn't end with John 19:41 because He rose from that tomb and He's comming again someday. Maybe if they had ended with another passage from the book of John I'd be able to see Superstar in a different light, but for me it's forever flawed. But I can't leave it that way . . .
