"Who, on one hand, abolished death and, on the other, shined bright toward life and immortality," 2 Timothy 1:10.
Who did this? Jesus. Jesus did. By what means did he light the path to life? By means of the gospel. What's that shining to immortality? The message of the good news! The power of God. The word of Christ. The message of Jesus' cross, and of Jesus' resurrection. Embarrassed for following Christ? Oh, no! Never! How else would God save us; how could he call us to a holy calling? (Believe it: Not by our works, but by his own generosity, his own purpose.) By his grace in Christ before the worlds ever got started. Sky kingdom.
We join a brother or sister today to follow Jesus' shine on his living path. And, together, we shout out thanksgivings to God for his imperishable gospel.
