Victory!

“Where, O death, is your victory?
    Where, O death, is your sting?”^[a]
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:55-57 NIV

***

The death, and the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus happened over three days.
Friday was the day of suffering and pain and agony.
Saturday was the day of doubt and confusion and misery.
But Easter, that Sunday, was the day of hope and joy and victory.
You will face these three days over and over and over in your lifetime.
And when you do, you’ll find yourself asking, as I did,
three fundamental questions:
Number one, what do I do in my days of pain?
Two, how do I get through my days of doubt and confusion?
Three, how do I get to the days of joy and victory?
The answer is Easter.
Rick Warren
