The Only One Who Truly Defied Gravity
He defied the laws of earth and eternity—not with spectacle, but with divinepurpose. While others faced brokenness, He remained whole, fulfilling prophecy.
"He protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken." — Psalm34:20, echoed in John 19:36
(For these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “Notone of His bones will be broken.”)
At the cross, where bones were often shattered to hasten death, His remainedintact. Even in agony, He fulfilled every word spoken of Him.
When the grave was supposed to silence Him, it could not hold Him. The stone was notjust rolled away—it was cast aside by resurrection power.
"Heis not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where helay." — Matthew 28:6
Death lost its grip, and the tomb lost its claim. What was meant to be a finalresting place became a doorway to eternal life. Hedescended into the depths, entering the realm of darkness—not to be conquered,but to declare victory. He ministered even to the imprisoned spirits and tookback what the enemy had stolen.
"After being made alive, he went and made proclamation to the imprisonedspirits..." — 1 Peter 3:19
"He disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle ofthem, triumphing over them by the cross." — Colossians 2:15
He took the keys of sin, death, hell, and the grave, stripping them of powerforever.
"I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive forever and ever! And Ihold the keys of death and Hades." — Revelation 1:18
Then, He ascended—not just rising into the skies, but returning in glory to the righthand of the Father, where He reigns in majesty.
"After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of theMajesty in heaven." — Hebrews 1:3
But the story is not over. He will return, not as the suffering servant, but as theconquering King, riding on a white horse.
"I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider iscalled Faithful and True." — Revelation 19:11
And in that moment, those who believe will be caught up in the clouds to meet Him,gravity defied once again by the One who conquered all.
"Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in theclouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with theLord." — 1 Thessalonians 4:17
