For Thursday, August 24, 2023:
Romans 6:9 NLT: “Christ was raised from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him.”
Christian theology about Jesus dying to take away the sins of the world is common knowledge. We need to also remember that in three days he rose from the dead, conquering death in this 2-for-1 miracle! Put another way, sin and death both bit the dust in the same Godly event!
Believers are the beneficiaries of this double miracle. Jesus took the sins of the world to the place of the dead, so they are no longer a burden. He also promised us that death is not the end. He proved that there is life after this life, and promised us that faith in him would be our ticket to the afterlife!
As Jesus ascended into heaven, he stated that he was going ahead to prepare a place for the faithful. Jesus’ promises are always true!
"Absent from the body; present with the Lord!”
