Death Undone

in #religion6 years ago

Hosea 13:14

14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave;
I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be
thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction:
repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.

John 11:39-45

39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the
sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord,
by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead
four days.
40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that,
if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the
glory of God?
41 Then they took away the stone from the place
where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his
eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast
heard me.
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but
because of the people which stand by I said it,
that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a
loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and
foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about
with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and
let him go.
45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had
seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.

You may wonder why I use the handle @deathlyhorror to spread the word of God on steemit. It is a celebration in my mind that death is conquered by Jesus so that now even the grim reaper is preaching the gospel message. You commonly hear that death is final and that would be true if not for the miracle working power of God who gave His only Son as a sacrifice to undo the power of the grave...

Isaiah 26:19

19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead
body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell
in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the
earth shall cast out the dead.

On Jesus' great day of return long-dead bodies will reform from the dust in supernatural form and rise to live forever. Old age, sickness and death take a heavy toll on humanity and cause a great deal of tears and grief, but someday...

Isaiah 25:8

8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord
God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the
rebuke of his people shall He take away from off all
the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.

All praises, glory and honor to our Lord, Jesus Christ forever and ever.

What a blessing to have an opportunity to become a christian! When I think back my life before born agian, my hope ends in death, but after born agian my hope is in heaven with our Lord Jesus. Thank for reminding us

One day, death will be swallowed up in the victory that Messiah paid for at the cross. Yet, his disciples need to endure in him until the very end.

Endure to the end. God Bless You

The proximity of death always makes that we try to live better.Upvote for You

Yes, I used to live like I would never die until the Lord came into my life with shock and awe. God Bless You

Nice work may God favour your life

You're correct brother @deathlyhorror! Sometimes i even wonder myself why you nickname yourself @deathlyhorror but i now know why. As Christians there is no such word as death we are just a visitor here on earth Heaven is our home. Thank you for the message God give you more grace in Jesus name. Amen.

Oh glory to God,death has been defeated.we have the power of life and death because of what Christ has done.1 Corinthians 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.2 Timothy 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; Hebrews 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Glory to God, Jesus has the keys of life and death, good brother @deathlyhorror

Thanks for telling us the meaning of the name deathlyhorror.
