“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.”Hebrews 2:14-15, KJV
If you know what the fear of death is doing in the world today, you will appreciate this scripture. Jesus went to the cross to destroy the power of death. He destroyed the power of the pit, he destroyed abbadon, apollyon, he destroyed death the person. The presence of death and penalty of death was eradicated by Jesus. He came for this purpose and not only that, he went further to destroy the fear of death through which many were enslaved and all their lives subjected to bondage.
Many people die before their death. Anyone who is captured by the fear of death has no life. This is what drives people into occultism and into all manner of things, to protect themselves from death. The love of money and fear of death are the two things that drive people into occultism. For a lot of people, the fear of death is the beginning of wisdom. But Jesus came so that we can have life and have it more abundantly. Glory to God! Jesus lives to make intercession for us. He has destroyed the power of death. In Christ, we are more than conquerors. Not even death can separate us from the love of God.
The cross of our Lord Jesus Christ is the symbol of comprehensive dominion over sin, self, satan and all his works, all his wiles, all his schemes, all his agents, all his manipulations and machinations. It is a symbol of comprehensive dominion over sickness, disease, death and hell, poverty, scarcity and lack. Magnify the Lord.
