Subject: John 10:10 Who is responsible for death? |
Bible Note: He was saying that He had conquored death, hell and the grave. He was acknowledging that He was the Firstfruit. No longer were people bound in the holding place of "Abraham's bossom" but now were united with His Heavenly Father. He unlocked the gate and set them free! Now His true follower would be able to exercise delegated authority from Him because all power in Heaven and earth was His. It was finished! |
