Jesus didn’t come to spruce you up.
To sheen you with a religious veneer.
Spice you,
Blush you,
or tidy your curls.
He came to kill you!
Drown that sucker forever in a watery grave.
“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death” (Romans 6:4 KJV)
It wasn’t enough to make you a ‘better’ person or reform your ways. Your old self was way beyond renovation. Adam saw to that. His and Eve’s rebellion was nuclear, right down to the DNA and deeper.
The solution? An Easter massacre!
“I am crucified with Christ:” (Galatians 2:20 KJV)
All of gruesome humanity hoisted and hung with Heaven’s Son.
Then buried in the grave.
The greatest true crime mystery of the millennium!
Hallelujah.
Death has never been so sweet.
But the story doesn’t end there. Tune in tomorrow for the thrilling conclusion…
