-But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.
Death is impossible to avoid. Even the strongest human must eventually confront it. Many loath the day that their life will come to an end because everything they love and cherish vanishes with their last breath. Death, for many, is the end of the road. But not for Jesus. Indeed, he died and was even placed in a tomb. However, even that could not stop our Saviour. The most unavoidable force known to man was defeated. Jesus was filled with so much power that nothing could stop the plans God had for him. If he can be taken to the end of the road, the place of no return, and still be risen to the highest place within 3 days, then he can do ANYTHING. God took Jesus to the most impossible of situations and made it possible. How can anyone doubt the power of God?
Faith. God demands it over and over again throughout his word. He has performed every miracle, defeated every impossibility to show his people how easy it is to trust him. Yet, we still try to fight our battles on our own. God did not prepare us to fight alone. He wants to help. He has the power to accomplish anything. We need to completely surrender our struggles to him and trust that he will work things out in his will. Just believe that he has total control. We are his children and he will not abandon us.
I hope that in every struggle, I am able to remember that my Father was able to defeat death and certainly can take on any other situation I may encounter. My faith is in him, forever.
