Death Subdued And Swallowed

DEATH SUBDUED AND SWALLOWED

The only thing that can subdue death is the uncreated life of God. Our life, the created life, cannot withstand death. However, death cannot hold the divine life signified by the Lord's bones, which were not broken when He was on the cross. The fact that the soldiers did not break the Lord's legs indicates that His uncreated life cannot be broken. Any form of created life, vegetable, ani mal, or human, can be damaged by death. But the unique uncreated life cannot be damaged by it.

Just as light swallows darkness, so the uncre ated life swallows death. Darkness can only be overcome by light. We should not try to cast out darkness, but we should simply turn on the light. As soon as the light comes on, darkness vanishes. In the same principle, whenever the uncreated life comes in, death disappears. Death is afraid of the uncreated life. In order to reign in life, we need the abundance of grace and the living Spirit. As long as we have the divine life, every trace of death will vanish.

We should not try to overcome our tem per, our shopping, or our gossiping. Rather, we should simply open our being to God and allow His grace to flow through us and to fill us. This

flowing grace will be active as the Spirit who will be life in us. This life will then subdue death and swallow it up. This is what it means to reign in life over death.
