Messiah delivers those of Israel in Gehinnom — sets free from death
Hosea challenged death and the grave with God's redemptive power.
I will deliver this people from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. Where, O death, are your plagues? Where, O grave, is your destruction?
Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?
Hosea challenged death and the grave with God's redemptive power. Paul echoes these exact words in celebration of Christ's resurrection — death has lost its sting, the grave its victory, through Jesus.
Lord of the future, as I study Death Swallowed Up, anchor my hope not in circumstances but in Your coming reign.
