‘Christ’s death is vital—Christ’s death is life—Christ’s death is life eternal, swallowing up death in victory—suppressing my death, and living for me and in me — eternal life still!’ — HUGH MARTIN
Death is often thought of as the inescapable terminus of life—something which, in the end, overpowers and conquers us. But in Christian theology, the death of Christ has central significance for our salvation. Christ died victoriously, conquering death and triumphing over his and our enemies. His death is our life.
