The Death of Death in the Death of Christ

In this sermon on Resurrection Sunday (4/4/21), Elder Mike Gowens considers Hebrews 2:14-15, and the uncomfortable subject of death. Although popular culture prefers to avoid the topic of death, or at least redefine it in more pleasant terms, the Bible does not soft-peddle the subject. In Scripture, death is an enemy, the king of terrors, the wages of sin and a stinging reality. But the good news of the gospel is that Jesus Christ has conquered it, in each of its aspects, on behalf of His covenant people. Death died at Calvary. The empty tomb is the ultimate proof that death has been conquered. This is message #7 in the Hebrews series.
