Alive For Evermore

"I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and death."  Revelation 1:18.  This is an announcement of victory.  This is the faith of every believer in Christ.  This is the assurance of all of the redeemed.  This is the stone upon which Christianity is established.  No founder of any religion, except Jesus Christ, can make this claim.  Jesus Christ lived, died, and is alive for evermore.  The tomb could not hold Him.  Death could not bind Him.  Jesus Christ, the Son of God, lived in human flesh.  Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was crucified upon the cross.  Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was buried in a grave.  And He arose.  Glory unto God Almighty for Jesus Christ arose.  Death had no power over Him.  Hell could not destroy Him.  Jesus Christ is the conqueror and the gospel announces His conquest.  Redemption flows from heaven's fountain because He is alive for evermore.  Death and hell shudder because those enshrined in the tombs shall one day come forth because Jesus Christ has the keys of hell and death.  Christ is alive and all believers will be made alive.  Yea, even, for evermore.  Grave clothes shall be cast aside.  The triumphant march from death's tomb to heaven's gate will begin on the grand morning of the resurrection.  And, the shout of every believer in Jesus Christ will be,  He was dead and is alive for evermore.  Amen and amen.
