Persistence in the face of adversity is an admirable virtue but death is the final adversity that no amount of persistence can overcome.
Jesus, by the power of His perfect life, conquered death. In so doing, He made it possible for others to overcome death as well. Because He lives, and as He lives, we shall live also.
Jesus is the priest described in Hebrews 7:15-16 who has become a priest for us on the basis of the power of an indestructible life.
In the first creation, God breathed into Adam the breath of life, and he became a living soul. In the second creation, Christ breathes into us the spirit of His life.
In response, we must see to it that we deny our own lives, so that Christ's life will become ever more triumphant within us!
