Praise the Lord: He Is Risen

Imagine the wonder and joy the women at the tomb must have felt when they heard these words, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen” (Luke 24:5–6). They had just seen their Lord brutally beaten and killed—they knew he was dead. Receiving the news that he was alive must have been overwhelming. And now, 2,000 years later, we likewise should be filled with overwhelming wonder and joy over the truth that we serve the One who conquered death!

“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?”

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:54–57)

Praise the Lord—our Savior, who bore our sins and rose again, will return someday and make all things right.

And praise the Lord—our Savior, who bore our sins and rose again, will return someday and make all things right.

So Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. (Hebrews 9:28)

What a hope we have because of what Christ has done!

“Up from the grave he arose”!

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
