Victories in life seem so important. Think of the last genuine victory you experienced. Was it your favorite team winning its championship, or simply a bidding war online? Victory is a big deal on this earth, we seek it in just about every area of our lives and will do just about anything to achieve it.
Yet our victories are so shorted lived, most don’t last past the locker room celebration or through to the next day. Sure we revel in them, we flash “V” signs for victory sing “We are the champions of the world” but honestly the sun sets on our greatest victories and we dawn to a new season of seeking another victory of similar or same.
That is what makes the victory that Jesus Christ won over death and sin so amazing. Its potent power lasts even to this day! As the third day rolled into view God’s power was not just revealed in the ability to raise a body from death (already did that with Lazzy boy), but it is displayed in the complete victory. 2000 years ago Jesus conquered death and that victory lasts to this very day and beyond. It means that you and I can rest in that His victory NEVER EXPIRES. The stone that rolled away was the icon of a “no expiration date on that can of goodies.
Regardless of how your life is going today, remember that the cause you have surrendered your life to wins in the end. A loss today is still victory in Christ tomorrow. President Woodrow Wilson once said “I would rather lose in a cause that will some day win, than win in a cause that will some day lose!”
“You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great.” (Psalm 18:35)
