Two problems you and I share:

1. Guilt: We're gossips and liars, cheats and adulterers. We're coveters and thieves, perverters of justice. We're widow-neglecters and poverty ignorers. We're guilty sinners, and we know it to the last man.

2. Death: We're born in cursed bodies, hurtling towards the grave. We all have a coffin in our futures somewhere, near or far—and there is nothing we can do about that. No money can buy death off. No pleading can loose its grip.

But Jesus cracked the earth and strode out of that grave in glory, death underfoot. But Jesus ripped up the record of our guilt. Death and guilt have been swallowed up by Christ's victorious resurrection!
