"O death, where is thy victory?"

Christ Jesus wins the victory, when we bring ourselves to Him in all of our brokenness and allow Him to live in us, and to love through us inspite of our selfishness. Yes, Christ is our Mighty God, our Warrior, the one-man army that fights on our behalf, winning easily every time. For Christ, to fight is to win. Victory is the only expected outcome for Him - there are no what ifs. Christ wins everytime, anytime, everywhere. Defeat is a foreign idea to Him, like an island that is too far off for the ship's captain to ever see, because the island isn't even on the horizon yet, nor will it ever be.

Christ the Lord is our Risen Lord. Death has lost its sting and has been utterly vanquished by Christ who is Life Himself, the fullness of Life, the very Source of Life.

"O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?" (1 Corinthians 15:55) You have been utterly, utterly destroyed and decimated by Jesus Christ the Risen Lord. Death, thou art decimated, destroyed, obliterated. Oh, see how the eagles of the night and the phantoms of death are vanquished, and see how they howl in pure anguish for Christ is resurrected, and death is no more.
