When the powerful of the earth had completed the job of total annihilation of a man and the project of his life, which was Jesus of Nazareth, they bribed one of His disciples arrested him at midnight and took him from court to court…
The religious court condemned him, whipped him, vilified him, spat on him, They mistreated him, crucified him, killed him, buried him, placed guards in the grave so that later they don’t come to us saying I don’t know what, they placed a seal. inviolable in the grave.
It was a perfect work. The powerful of the earth did not fail in a single detail to exterminate him forever.
And when these powerful men of the earth, after such a work, slept satisfied and happy…behold, the “great annihilated” began to emerge from the claws of death.
Risen, Lordly and Immortal, beyond time and history, forever and ever.
That is why we cannot fail. We “will not be defeated,” because our only security and hope is this Jesus who defeated death and all forces of evil.
