Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 15 that the last enemy to be destroyed will be death itself. In the resurrection of Jesus, we know that death has most certainly been defeated; and yet, until the day Jesus returns, we will live in the shadow of that enemy. This week we will be encouraged and empowered to not live our lives in the shadow of death but in the shadow of the cross and empty tomb. Jesus came to give us life in abundance and through His death and resurrection He has rescued us from death to life…now and always.
