Life Wins Over Death

Imagine believing death is absolute, your existence ending completely. Funerals are final goodbyes, and cemeteries mark life's end. But Jesus' resurrection shatters this belief. He rises physically, not as a spirit, overturning centuries-old philosophies like those of Socrates and Plato, who saw the body as a soul's prison. This resurrection affirms the value of our physical world, indicating God's plan is not to abandon but renew creation. It transforms our actions today—love, justice, and care for Earth—into reflections of this future reality. Death isn't the end; life, through resurrection, has the final word, changing everything.
