—Hebrews 2:14-18
by: Jean Jorgensen.
Christ came back after his crucifixion; he could have simply vanished and we would not know of life after death. Instead, he taught us about victory over death. This reminds me of the Surprise Lilies we have in our yard. The green leaves show early in the spring and die before the heat of the summer, leaving the ground bare. All of a sudden in mid-summer a stalk appears producing beautiful pink-toned blossoms. Our lives before death can be likened to the green leaves. It appears that we vanish in death, but because of Christ’s atonement for our sins, we burst into new life, much more beautiful than life on earth.
