Jesus Conqurered Death

Matt 17:22-23
22 When they came together in Galilee, he said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. 23 They will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised to life.” And the disciples were filled with grief.


Jesus shares with his disciples that he will be given to the people and they will kill him, but he will rise again in three days. At the news of this, the disciples were grieved.

It is natural to be filled with grief at such horrible news, especially if your mentor and Lord says that he's going to die, but I believe it wasn't fully understood the second part of Jesus' message, that He will rise again in three days. We need to declare the victory that Jesus has done, conquering death and giving us the gift of salvation.

Father God, I thank you and praise Your Holy name. You are the majestic one, the blessed Savior. Who on earth compares to Your glory. Thank you for the Cross for it has saved a wretched soul like me. Forever by Your everlasting Love. I give you thanks, and I praise Your name for You conquered death to save man. Let Your glory be known to all those around. I give you honor and thanks in Jesus name.
Amen.
