I died—Behold me now! I am alive
forevermore, and in my hand the keys
of death and Hell to lock the door. The prize
is ours. For you I claimed this victory.
Thanks be to God! The sting of death is sin,
the strength of sin the law. To sin I died;
Now raised to life I live that life to Him.
By this God’s enemies are justified.
Were not I raised, your faith would be in vain,
most miserable of men! But you are saved
by grace, because I live and have attained
your triumph. Rise up—come forth from the grave!
I am the Resurrection and the Life.
Believe in me—believe and never die.

I appreciate how this post gives specific context around Mrs. Allen Makes. The argument is easier to follow because it connects the headline point with concrete details instead of staying at a slogan level. It gave me a few useful points to think about. Thanks for sharing the perspective. A small example from the same kind of practical context is photo from emoji, where the surrounding explanation matters more than the link itself.
