The Lord's Victory Over Death
Christ's death and resurrection changed the perception of death from a permanent state to a transitory condition. Before Christ's resurrection, death was considered a terminal point, marking the end of natural life. However, through his victory over death, Christ transformed it into an entry point leading to new life and resurrection. By showing that death is a temporary condition and that it can be overcome, Christ's sacrifice redefined the concept of death as a step in a journey towards eternal life.
