I'm thinking today of Hebrews 2 .14. It is a
verse that describes a great victory that belongs
to the church and to God's people as the church.
It says this, It says a couple of things. First
of all, it says that the children share in flesh
and blood. That is to say, we are all pretty
much the same. It doesn't matter about skin color,
cultural, your social situation, your financial
situation, your health situation, etc. We all
share in flesh and blood and the struggles thereof.
Because that's true, Jesus took on flesh himself.
And he did that so that his body could then die.
And in conquering death, he could render powerless
him who had the power of death, that is, the
devil. The bottom line is, Jesus stole the very
sword right out of his hand. Everyone everywhere,
at some point in time, thinks about death, fears
death, worries about the outcome of events. In
fact, losing a job sometimes feels like death.
Losing a relationship sometimes feels like death.
Someone saying something mean or hurtful to you
sometimes feels like death. But only death is
death, and it was in the hand of the devil. And
Jesus came and lived the life of a man and stole
that weapon right out of his hand. He has disarmed
our greatest enemy. Let us now live for Christ
and live brightly and live eternally. God bless
you today.
