Will you, by grace, drop your nets and follow Him, forsaking the fleeting pleasures of this world for the everlasting glory of His kingdom?

Death couldn’t hold Jesus because He’s the sinless, sovereign Son of God—resurrected by the Father, loosed from the grave, and triumphant over Satan, Sin, hell, and death. In Acts 2:24 Peter preaches a Christ who crushed the curse and conquered the coffin—not as a metaphor, but as our mighty, risen King. For those who bow in faith, His resurrection is eternal life; for those clinging to rebellion, it’s a divine verdict that the Death Killer lives.
