Breaking the Reign of Terror (Romans 5:12-21)

Damien Hirst, the bad boy of English art, released his latest work of art early in June-- a platinum skull imbedded with 8, 601 diamonds. The skull is worth $98 million and wears a big grin of real teeth, but is death a joke, a friend we can smile at? The Apostle Paul in Romans 5:12-21 has a far different response to the fact of death. He tells us its origin and he gives us a promise that can give us hope because diamonds don't last forever.
