1 Samuel 14:1-52; Isaiah 52:13-53:12; Romans 1:1-17
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?… thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:55-57
The prospect of death deeply frightens many people. Some do their best to not think about it and certainly do not discuss it. Others are made of sterner stuff and seem fearless in the face of death. Thankfully through the resurrection of Jesus from the grave, death has been conquered and for the Christian, there is a sense of positive anticipation and even the feeling of triumph as death approaches. The Christian has, with the power of the Holy
Spirit, the ability to finish well by looking forward to our heavenly home. —Paul Young
Lives again our glorious King, where, Oh death, is now thy sting?
He died our souls to save, where’s thy victory, boasting grave?—C. Wesley
