Though it is inevitable, death is a bitter pill to take. At all costs, we try to avoid it, delay the conversation, or hesitantly speak about it. Maybe because death signifies loss, sorrow, and defeat. We fear how death brings loneliness, hopelessness, grief, and pain. Death is the end of all.
But when Jesus died on the cross, His death became a new beginning. On the third day, the tomb was found empty because death died that day!
We celebrate the Holy Week knowing that our King is alive, not dead; victorious, not defeated; powerful, not weak. And Jesus, our King, can do great and mighty wonders in our lives today.
