Words of Faith&Hope“THE VICTORY OF THE CROSS”
“When the perishable has been clothed withthe imperishable, then the saying that iswritten will come true: ‘Death has been
swallowed up in victory.’”- I Corinthians 15:54 -
A seasoned angel was giving a brand-newfreshman angel a tour of the heavens. Thefreshman angel was wide-eyed and awestruckas he saw the vastness, majesty and wonder ofGod’s incredible universe. When they came tothe Milky Way, the mature senior angel said tothe freshman angel, “Come over here, son, Iwant to show you something special. Lookdown there! That tiny planet is called Earth. Itlooks rather insignificant from here, doesn’t it?But something quite remarkable happenedthere many centuries ago. You see, the people of Earth had gotten off
track a bit. They were missing the whole pointof their existence. So God sent his only Soninto the world to save the people and teachthem how to live a meaningful life.” “Wow!That’s amazing!" said the freshman angel.“They must have given Him a warm welcome.”“No,” said the senior angel sorrowfully. “Theykilled him!”His death brought much despair and
discouragement to those closest to our Lord.They not only lost a dear Friend; they lost hopeas well. It appeared the movement He begandied with Him. But that was because they hadthought of death in earthly terms.Christianity is the only religion that sees
death as victory. His crucifixion was the world’sgreatest tragedy. His resurrection was theworld’s greatest triumph!With Jesus Christ we are on the winning side.
Ultimately, Truth wins! Goodness wins! Lovewins! As believers we are assured of ultimate
victory over sin and death. “This is the victorythat conquers the world – our faith” (I John 5:4).This sweet assurance should put a smile onour face and a spring in our step!
