(Hebrews 12:3; Genesis 3:15; 2 Timothy 1:10; 1 Peter 2:24.) Christ Triumphant in Death—Christ was nailed to the cross, but He gained the victory. The whole force of evil gathered itself together in an effort to destroy Him who was the Light of the world, the Truth that makes men wise unto salvation. But no advantage was gained by this confederacy. With every advance move, Satan was bringing nearer his eternal ruin. Christ was indeed enduring the contradiction of sinners against Himself. But every pang of suffering that He bore helped tear away the foundation of the enemy’s kingdom. Satan bruised Christ’s heel, but Christ bruised Satan’s head. Through death the Saviour destroyed him that had the power of death. In the very act of grasping his prey, death was vanquished; for by dying, Christ brought to light life and immortality through the gospel.{7BC 924.4}

(kp. 12,3; 1.Mos. 3,15; 2 Tim. 1,10; 1 Peter 2,24.) Kristus sejrer i døden. - Kristus blev naglet til korset, men Han vandt sejren. Hele ondskabens mangt samlede sig selv, for at udslette Ham, som var verdens Lys, den Sandhed som gør mennesker kloge på frelse. Men der kom ikke noget ud af denne sammensværgelse. Med ethvert skridt fremad, kom Satan nærmere sin evige ruin. Kristus skulle i virkeligheden udholde syndernes modsigelse imod Ham selv. Men ethvert smertekval som Han bar, hjalp til at nedrive fundamentet for fjendens rige. Satan huggede Kristi hæl, men Kristus huggede Satans hoved. Ved døden udslettede Frelseren ham som havde dødens magt. I det at han greb sit bytte videre, var døden besejret, for ved død, bragte Kristus liv og udødeligt til lyset, igennem evangeliet.
