“The ground began to shake
The stone was rolled away
His perfect love could not be overcome!
Now, death where is your sting?
Our resurrected King has rendered you defeated.”
(Forever-Kari Jobe)
“On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright, the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, ‘Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, HE IS RISEN!’” (Luke 24:1-6)
The angels were quick to remind them of His words that He would rise on the third day (vs 7-8). “Then, they remembered His words!” And oh, how their tears were turned to joy! It all made sense now! He came, as the Passover Lamb, to die for the sins of the world. He had perfectly accomplished the will of His Father, and sin, hell and the grave were now conquered!
“Forever, He is glorified
Forever, He is lifted high
Forever, He is risen,
He is alive!
He is alive!
We sing hallelujah
We sing hallelujah
We sing hallelujah
The Lamb has overcome!”
May this resurrection Sunday fill your hearts to overflowing, because He is alive, and through Him we have victory over sin, death, hell and the grave. And praise His name, we have eternal life! What a victory!
Hallelujah!
