Giant of Death
(Morning Service)
Text: Hebrews 2:14-16
As the sun finally peeks out in May and the flowers are blooming, death might seem like a far-distant problem that’s miles away from us this morning. But, the writer of Hebrews suggests that it’s an ever-present fear that binds our actions, conversations, and everyday lives in a sort of slavery. Today we’re going to explore whether death really does have an effect on our daily lives and whether we can ever truly be free from the fear of death that may be lurking in every moment of happiness and joy.
“Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham.
(Hebrews 2:14–16 ESV)”
