The Resurrection Didn’t End Death—It Embarrassed It

The Resurrection Didn’t End Death—It Embarrassed It - Fri. Apr. 25, 2025 | Bright Week Edition

Join Me Live: https://guest.ecamm.live/84e948f2c

Today’s Readings:
1 Corinthians 15:54-55
Colossians 2:15
Revelation 1:18

🏛️ Orthodox & Patristic Insight:
* St. John Chrysostom (Paschal Homily): “Hell took a body, and met God. It took earth, and encountered heaven. It took what it saw, and fell by what it did not see.”
* The Orthodox Church teaches that Christ descended into Hades, not as a victim, but as a conqueror—ripping the gates off and parading the enemy in defeat.
* St. Ephrem the Syrian: “The Lord trampled death by death, and by His Resurrection gave life to those in the tombs.”
* This is why Bright Week is sung with laughter, bells, feasting, and joy—we’re mocking death in the name of the King who crushed it.
