A CROSS, AN EMPTY TOMB, AND THE RESURRECTION
Our ransom was paid in full on the cross. Death was defeated so that we might live.
"When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."
"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"
(1 Corinthians 15: 54-55)
