Acts 2:24 - "But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power."
If we are in Christ, the agony of death has been broken in our lives. We can truly say with Paul, "O death, where is your sting?" (I Corinthians 15:55). Though our old man is dying daily and our physical body will one day cease to be, we will all take on immortality when we are transfigured into His glorious image.
Until then, we must know and understand that death cannot hold us in its power because we have the life of Christ. We can rejoice that we no longer have to sin but we can live, every day and every moment, in the power of life. What was once the agony of defeat has become the joy of victory in the Son. He has triumphed over death, sin, and devil for all eternity.
