Who Swallowed Who?

About this episode

This episode reflects on the story of salvation from the Old Testament to the resurrection of Christ, emphasizing baptism as participation in that victory.

This episode reflects on the sweeping story of salvation told through the Old Testament and fulfilled in the resurrection of Christ. From creation to rebellion and death, it shows how sin turned life into decay—yet God never stopped working to restore and redeem what was lost. At the center is the dramatic reversal of Easter: the grave that once swallowed humanity is itself defeated when it cannot hold the sinless Son of God. In rising, Jesus breaks the power of death for all. The episode highlights baptism as our പങ്കാളിത്ത in that victory—dying and rising with Christ—and proclaims this night as the turning point where darkness is shattered, death is overcome, and life is given anew to all who are in Him.
