The Death of Death

Apr 5, 2026    Norm Duncan

This Easter sermon explores the profound paradox of how Jesus destroyed death by dying. The message traces the theological journey from the curse of sin and death that entered the world through Adam and Eve's disobedience to Christ's ultimate victory over death through His crucifixion and resurrection. The pastor emphasizes that Jesus didn't just survive death—He invaded and conquered it. By becoming sin on the cross, Jesus took upon Himself the penalty we deserved, but because He was sinless, death could not hold Him. The resurrection serves as God's receipt that the payment for sin was accepted. For believers, this transforms death from a terrifying punishment into a mere passage to eternal life. The sermon concludes with a clear gospel invitation, challenging listeners to respond to the resurrection by trusting Christ as Lord and Savior, emphasizing that this decision determines their eternal destiny.
