Good Words for Today: February 26

Is there any fear more fundamental than the fear of death? Perhaps every other fear is but a subset of that great fear. But Jesus has transformed death for those who follow him. What happens to us, happened first to him. What happened to him will one day happen to us. He entered death’s dark realm and not only subdued it. He conquered it once and for all. By his victory over death, he has sanctified it so that we no longer need to fear it. He went into the tomb and then he came out. Thus, we will not fear to go in, knowing that one day by God’s grace, we too will come out.
