Our faithful, loving and all knowing God sent His son to the earth knowing beforehand and very well that He would be rejected by the world and be made to suffer the most gruesome death imaginable at the time. However, since God always knows the ending from the beginning, He knew that His Son, Jesus, would be raised again back to life by the power of the Holy Spirit.
In His death, though it may have looked as a defeat when it happened, turned out to be an eternal and a grave mistake that the enemies of our souls may have made. In that death, Jesus Christ defeated death, hell and the grave and, made a public spectacle of all the rulers, powers and principalities of the kingdom of darkness.
The most interesting and the most inspiring thing, throughout that episode of death, burial and the resurrection of our Lord, is that the same Holy Spirit who raised Him (Jesus Christ) from the dead, is the same Holy Spirit who lives in us and works in us from day to day unendingly.
Let us therefore boldly approach the throne of grace and enter into the heavenly sanctuary, loudly proclaiming, declaring and shout that Jesus is not dead nor is He in the grave but HE IS ALIVE, for He rose on the third day!
