| Sacrifice and Victory |
| “Christ died…He was buried, and…He rose again the third day” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). |
| I saw a motto on a bumper sticker the other day while visiting in Trinidad; here is what it said: |
| NO SACRIFICE, NO VICTORY! |
| I’ve thought a lot about it in regard to the great sacrifice of Calvary and the great victory that has resulted. The Lord Jesus, in giving Himself as the supreme sacrifice, has won a great victory over sin, Satan, and death. “Death is swallowed up in victory” (1 Corinthians 15:54). |
| Whitlock Gandy wrote: |
His be “the Victor’s name,”
Who fought the fight alone;
Triumphant saints no honour claim,
His conquest was their own. |
Bless, bless the Conqueror slain,
Slain in His victory;
Who lived, who died, who lives again —
For thee, His church, for thee! |
