Verse of the day: Therefore, because children have a common share of flesh and blood, he too participated in it, so that with his death he would destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all. those who, for fear of death, were subjected to slavery for life (Hebrews 2:14-15).
Jesus became man because the death of a man who was more than a man was necessary. The incarnation was God who stopped on death row.
- Christ did not risk dying.
- He kissed death.
- And that is precisely why he came: not to be served.
- But to serve and give his life in ransom for many (Mark 10:45).
No wonder Satan tried to put Jesus off the cross!The cross was the destruction of Satan, how did Jesus destroy it?
The? The power of death is the ability to make death terrifying. The power of death is the power that keeps enslaved men out of fear of death; is the power to keep men in sin so that death can happen as a terrible thing.

Christmas exists for freedom. Freed from the fear of death
Jesus took our nature in Bethlehem, to die our death in Jerusalem, so that we may be fearless in our city. Yes, without fear. Because if the greatest threat to my joy has been eliminated, then why should I worry about the smallest?How can you say (actually!): “Well, I’m not afraid to die, but I’m afraid of losing my job. ??” You can’t do that. No, he thinks no, no, no, no, no.
If death (I said, death!? No heartbeat, cold, it’s over!)?If death is no longer a fear, we are free, truly free. Free to take any risk under the sun for Christ and for love. No more slavery, to anxiety.
Therefore, if the Son frees you, you will be truly free
