Armies have conquered lands and achieved victory for king and country. While it may require significant work, discipline, or talent, victory is possible for one or the other party under most any circumstance. The outcome may not be what we would desire, but victory is feasible.
The one thing that it is impossible for man to gain victory over is death. But, guess what?! “Jesus replied, ‘What is impossible with man is possible with God.’” (Luke 18:27, Matthew 19:26, Mark 10:27)
Jesus overcame death and thus became the perfect sacrifice through whom we can conquer sin and death, and taste victory.
“Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
I Corinthians 15:55-57
