Right Is Might

Jesus Christ could not remain in the rock-sealed tomb, under the power of death; "it was not possible that He should be holden of it." Acts 2:24. Why?—He was righteous. The secret of it all lies in that great fact. "In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death." Prov. 12:28. Jesus died, but He died for us. He bore our sins, He the Sinless One; but having expiated our sins by His complete and perfect offering, His own righteousness broke the Roman-sealed, demon-guarded tomb, and He stepped forth an eternal Conqueror forevermore, a perfect and everlasting demonstration of the principle that right is might.
