“I sank down to the very roots of the mountains. I was imprisoned in the earth, whose gates lock shut forever. But you, O Lord my God, snatched me from the jaws of death!
Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. So He went and preached to the spirits in prison.
I am the living one. I died, but look—I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave.”
{Jonah 2:6; 1 Peter 3:18-19; Revelation 1:18}
