Title: Death Defeated

(S) cripture:
    Hebrews 2:14-15 (NASB) Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.

(O) bservation:
    Jesus was fully God and fully human. We know this but sometimes we forget the human aspect. He was like us so he could deliver us. He conquered death so we could be free from the fear of death.

(A) pplication:
    Because Jesus was fully human, therefore he knows all about the problems and weaknesses we face in our humanity. He faced the same things and overcame them and did not sin in doing so. He conquered death so I would not be afraid. Today I will live in confidence in the Lord. I know my Savior knows me and loves me and keeps me and empowers me to live life as he intended it to be lived. I am not afraid and can now live free.

(P) rayer:
    Lord, thank you for defeating my fear of death on the cross. Now let me live in confidence making known your name. Amen
