Jesus’ Death Was the Beginning, Not The End

Day 6 of 12 Reasons to Rejoice: Advent Devotions

I do not know what it’s like to die.

I’ve experienced moments of excruciating physical pain to the point where I knew I could die any moment, but I’ve never actually crossed that threshold. I do know, as you should too, that death is the end of a life.

But one death broke this cycle.

The moment Jesus died, a bunch of people popped out of their graves and started walking around. It’s the zombie apocalypse of real life! Isn’t that crazy?

Hi, I’m Lauren Thell, author of Christian YA fiction and blogger for teens who are ready to exceed the world’s expectations.

Even crazier, however, is that billions of souls were saved that day. Those guys that came to life again didn’t stay alive forever, at least not in the body.

But their souls lived on forever because Jesus died.

When you die, that will be the end of your physical life on earth. But rejoice, because Jesus’ death was the beginning of eternal life for all believers!
