Death Destroyed!
December 24, 2011

Medical researchers are working tirelessly to find a cure for cancer, a clue to the mystery of Alzheimer’s, and ways to conquer a host of other debilitating diseases. But what if you awoke to headlines saying DEATH DESTROYED! Would you believe it? Could you believe it?

The New Testament proclaims that for the believer in Christ, death has been destroyed—reduced to inactivity—rendered incapable of doing what it once did. “So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: ‘Death is swallowed up in victory’” (1 Cor. 15:54).

This good news is for everyone who will receive it—just as the angel told the shepherds when Jesus was born, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:10-11).

The birth of Jesus was the beginning of the end for death. “The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Cor. 15:56-57).

That is why we celebrate Christmas!

Mild He lays His glory by,
Born that man no more may die.
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth. —Wesley

The birth of Christ brought God to man;
the cross of Christ brings man to God.

Read: 1 Corinthians 15:50-58

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

Bible in a year:
Habakkuk 1-3; Revelation 15

The Spirit of the Season by WayzataJOHNN

As snow cascades down around, I hear soft the bells
singers sweet echoing down the lane, a story to tell
sweet the night, and bright the spirit held within
and welcome the family and friends in laughing din

Welcome the stranger, and invite them inside to share
its the right and the proper thing to give each a care
let the Reason for the Season, fill you like a flame
and remember this is to celebrate His loving name.

The truest and greatest gift is held within the soul and
in its illumination, evil and pain suffer toll
not wrapped in papers bright beneath a glistening bow
but filling a heart with a joyous effervescent flow


Wishing All Of You A Joyful Christmas Eve Day
