Because He Lives...The Power of Stress is Broken

The cross wasn’t just a moment in history—it was THE moment that changed everything.

The moment sin was silenced.
The moment Satan was stripped.
The moment the curse was crushed.

Jesus didn’t just conquer sin, death, and hell—
He conquered everything they brought with them.

Fear.
Stress.
Sickness.
Shame.
Confusion.
Lack.
Mental torment.
Emotional breakdown.
Every form of darkness that came through the fall—
Jesus carried it to the cross and crushed it underfoot.

“The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.” (1 John 3:8, ESV)

If the cross had conquered sin,
but left you to wrestle the effects of sin—
like lack, sickness, fear, confusion, failure, worry and condemnation—
then the sin would be greater and still victorious
.

But it wasn’t a partial victory. It was a total overthrow.

The finished work of the cross didn’t just give you a way to survive—
it secured an authority that empowers you to reign.

“But the free gift [of God] is not like the trespass [because the gift of grace overwhelms the fall of man]. For if many died by one man’s trespass [Adam’s sin], much more abundantly did God’s grace and the gift that comes by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many.

For if by the trespass of the one [Adam], death reigned through the one, much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in [eternal] life through the One, Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:15 & 17, AMP)

Sin brought loss.
Jesus brought restoration—and much more.

We didn’t just get back what was stolen.
We gained more than Adam ever lost.
More grace. More access. More power. More peace.

You weren’t redeemed to “get by”—
You were raised to walk in overflowing victory.

The Crown of Thorns Wasn’t Random

Have you ever thought about why Jesus wore a crown of thorns?

It wasn’t a dramatic prop. It was a prophetic exchange.

Thorns first appeared in Genesis 3—as part of the curse:

“Cursed is the ground… it will produce thorns and thistles for you.” (Genesis 3:17–18)

The thorns represented the toil, torment, and mental anguish caused by sin.

So when the soldiers pressed that twisted crown into Jesus’ head,

He was taking on the full weight of stress, fear, confusion, and mental torment.

He wore it, so you wouldn’t have to.

The blood that ran down His face was payment for your peace of mind.

The Enemy Was Publicly Defeated

The cross wasn’t a quiet transaction.
In the spiritual realm, it was a cosmic showdown—and Jesus didn’t win in secret.

“Having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” (Colossians 2:15, NIV)

He stripped hell of its power.
He canceled your record of debt.
He broke the curse that stress had been feeding on.
And He did it publicly.

Satan didn’t just lose—he was humiliated.

Because He Lives… You Can Live Light and Free

“Because He lives, I can face tomorrow… Because He lives, all fear is gone…”

This isn’t poetic language. It’s your spiritual reality.

Because Jesus lives:

• Peace is your portion.

• Victory is your default.

• Stress has lost its legal right to dominate your mind.

• You no longer live under the curse—you live in the blessing.
  
  

You are not stuck.
You are not bound.
You are not powerless.

You are raised with Him.
And that means you don’t have to tolerate what Jesus already took down.
