1 Corinthians 15:55
“Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”
If you have never listened to “The Champion” by Carmen, I highly recommend it. It describes the crucifixion and resurrection as a boxing match between Satan and Jesus. God of course is the referee. My favorite part is when Jesus lowers His hands and Satan strikes with the death blow. Satan and his minions are so excited and dancing around until they hear God begin the count. You see God counts backwards 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 . . . Then Satan begins to get nervous, as he should. When God gets to one, Jesus gets back up. Death cannot hold Him down.
As a Christian, death cannot hold you down either. No, I don’t mean you are going to rise up like a zombie walking around searching for brains. I mean you are no longer destined for hell. No, you will get to live on forever and ever in heaven with God, Christ, Holy Spirit, the angels, and all the other saints. No more pain or worries will follow us there. Life will be perfect!
So, I have a suggestion for you. The next time Satan starts picking on us, let’s turn around and start counting backwards. His days are numbered. He knows it and he needs to be reminded of it from time to time.
Thank you for delivering the final punch, Lord. ~amen
