SECOND TUESDAY  27^th OF LENT

“Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.”(Hebrews 2,14-15 NIV11-GKE)

Today, I want to remember those of our families who have gone before us. To thank God for their lives and celebrate who they were. Although they are no longer with us, I have found that they are still very present in our hearts and memories. I thank God, who sent his Son to break the power of him who holds the power of death. This is our hope in Christ. I want to encourage you to read Hebrews 2:11-18.

The death and resurrection of Christ have rendered powerless the one who was formerly the master of death.^[1]
