Bigger Than Life and Death

Have you ever wondered, “If Jesus was so powerful, why didn’t He save His own life?”

That’s a fair question. He was able to heal people. He cast out demons. He walked on water. Yet, there He was hung on a cross and killed.

Before He died, He said this to His disciples.

No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily. For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again.

Jesus knew that He had to die. He offered His life freely as a sacrifice for many. But He also knew He would take His life back up at the resurrection, conquering sin and death at the same time.

This is the power Jesus has—power over life and death. He raised Himself up from the dead. And He can give you new life, eternal life. Do you want it?

Remember, there is always hope with God.
