The Conquest of Christ over Suffering_17

The Conquest of Christ over Suffering. 1 Peter 3:18-22On the other hand, Christianity began with death. In the shadows of death, eternal life for mankind began.The crucifixion of Christ and His resurrection were not the end,they are the beginning of eternal life for those who believe on His name. His cross served as God's exclamation point in the history of mankind. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ transcends all periods of time. Because of His work on the cross, the dreams of believers are no longer dashed upon the rocks of despair. Because He died and now lives, we who believe will have everlasting life.There is no area where His victory is not complete. Heaven above, in my heart; Hell beneath. Christ is Lord. We have victory in Jesus. He has ascended the high hills of Heaven.He is not behind us, in a tomb; He's above us, on a throne. And within our hearts, He is Lord.He is the Champion of our Suffering.
