DLord 12 - The Lord Conquered Hell

DLord 12

People in the church know that the Lord conquered death,
which means hell,
and that He afterward ascended with glory into heaven.
But they still do not know
that the Lord overcame death or hell by means of battles,
which are temptations or trials;
that by these means He at the same time
glorified His humanity;
and that the suffering of the cross
was the final battle or trial
by which He overcame hell or death
and glorified His humanity.

Much is said about these trials in the Prophets and Psalms,
but not so much in the Gospels.
In the latter, the temptations or trials
He endured in childhood
are summarized and described by
His trials in the wilderness
and subsequent temptations by the devil,
and the last ones by those He suffered
in Gethsemane and on the cross.
