After I Peter 3:18-22
One might, it is said,
die for a righteous
man or woman, but
who among us would
die for an unrighteous one?
Would you die for
John Wilkes Booth?
Adolf Hitler? Joseph
Stalin? Jeffrey Dahmer?
Ted Bundy? Who in
their right minds would
die for any of these?
Only one did. Only, one.
He died for the righteous;
He died for the unrighteous.
He died for us all.
He died to conquer death.
