Because of the work of the God-man, I have been set free from the bondage caused by the fear of death.
Since God’s children have partaken of flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is, the devil, and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
(Hebrews 2:14-15)
Father,
I thank You that the Lord Jesus has partaken of flesh and blood, so that through His solidarity with the human condition and His glorious victory over the bondage of death, we can be liberated from this slavery and set free to be God’s people of meaning, purpose, and hope.
Amen.
