In today’s GB News Daily Reflections, we mark the day before Easter Sunday and discuss death. "Jesus shared in their humanity, so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death, that is the devil, and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death."As Jesus laid dead in the tomb. Whatever death is, and wherever Jesus went, he plunged into the depths of it to rescue us and set us free so we can truly live."
