Tim 1:10
But is now made manifest by the
appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath
brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
He
Has Abolished Death
Jesus
Christ has abolished death. The word
‘abolish’ in this text means to ‘render idle or useless’. Jesus Christ has caused death to be
non-impactful for the one who has trusted in His work on Calvary. Death is so final for so many, but the Lord
has rendered death idle and not to be feared any longer. Death is still here because sin is still here
but the sting of death has been abolished by Jesus Christ. He has brought life and immortality through
His work on Calvary and His resurrection.
Death is not to be esteemed as something so powerful but useless. Death is now a defeated foe. Most of us will have to face this foe, but it
is unarmed and unable to take us prisoner.
Although we will face death, if indeed we are in Christ, He has made it
idle and a fleeting experience that will pale in the light of life and
immortality which awaits us. Saint, do
not fear death! He has rendered it idle
and useless. Look beyond to all that He
has prepared for you so that where He is you may be also.
