You are aging. You get sick. You have aches and pains. And all of this bears witness to the fact that you are sinner. The impact of sin on your life is not merely about the fact you think and do things you shouldn’t, and fail to do things you should. Instead, it is also the fact that your very existence is warped and twisted by sin. Because of sin, you have an expiration date. You just don’t know what it is yet. You have that expiration date because you are a sinner who sins. As Paul told the Romans, “The wages of sin is death.” The Gospel as Paul defines it provides the answer to all of these problems. Christ died on behalf of your sins. Because of his death you are justified – you are righteous now in God’s eyes and will be declared to be this on the Last Day. And then on Easter, Christ rose from the dead. When he rose from the dead, he defeated death. He began the resurrection of the Last Day.
