Death of Christ

You might not know it, but every Christian hopes for the day when their faith will die. Really. I promise. Faith’s death is our celebration.

Should we really be surprised that it would happen this way, that the servant would suffer for our salvation and die for our forgiveness?

At Christmas, we hear the story of our salvation, but it’s not pretty.

JFK was not the only national figure who died on November 11, 1963. Though his death certainly took up most of the headlines, the acclaimed writers C.S. Lewis and Aldous Huxley also died that day as well.

So long as we entrust death to Jesus, new life is ours. He has lunch ready and he is waiting for us in the power of his resurrection.
