Revelation 1:18 – I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
He Lives!
After his brutal execution, Jesus emerged from the grave alive forevermore!
By conquering death, Christ rendered powerless the ultimate weapon of our enemy. What hope this brings!
Keys to Life and Death
Jesus alone holds the keys unlocking the doorways of death and Hades.
His resurrection establishes supremacy over sin’s deadly consequences. With Christ, life prevails.
The Sting Removed
Knowing Jesus has the keys, believers need not fear death’s threat.
For us, the grave becomes a doorway into eternal life and reward. The sting of death is removed!
Living Hope
Because Jesus lives and reigns eternally, we can have rock-solid confidence that His purposes will be accomplished and His promises will stand.
Our hope rests on the Living One!
Lord Jesus, You Are Alive!
Lord Jesus, as I face loss, grief and despair, remind me that You hold the keys of death and Hades! Though I cannot see past today, You inhabit eternity. I confess You as Lord of the living and the dead. Death will not have the final word, only life through You.
