The burial of Jesus is a blessing to you!
The burial of Jesus is a blessing to you!
Because not only have you died with Him-
– you have been buried with Him.
In Bible times, when Jewish people died-
– they were immediately embalmed with special oils and wrapped in linen.
The body was hidden and buried in a tomb.
That is what Jesus has done with your old body of sin.
Not only have you been crucified with Christ, you have been buried with Christ.
Why the emphasis?
So that you will not be haunted by the ghost of guilt.
The devil will try to remind you what you were.
Don’t let him.
Don’t go prowling around in the dead bones of your old life.
It is gone by the grace of God!
Have the hounds of hell come after you with their accusations of guilt from past sin?
It’s time to make them turn tail and run back to the pit.
How do you do that?
The Word!
If you are being accused of something right now by the devil or his agents-
– know that you have confessed, repented and God has forgiven you!
Claim the authority God has given you and declare His Word back to those demons!
