Happy Easter! Christ is risen! Welcome to the greatest story ever. It didn't end on Good Friday, when all hope seemed lost. If Jesus was just a regular guy, then yeah, tough cookies for us. But he isn't just a regular guy. He's God. And he just conquered death for you and me. This is unthinkable love. And completely awesome.
Here are some of my favorite verses from Easter hymns:
Jesus lives! The vict'ry's won!, V. 1
Jesus lives! The vict'ry's won!
Death no longer can appall me.
Jesus lives! Death's reign is done!
From the grave Christ will recall me.
Brighter scenes will then commence;
This shall be my confidence.
O Rejoice, Ye Christians Loudly, V. 2
See, my soul, thy Saviour chooses
Weakness here and poverty,
In such love He comes to thee,
Nor the hardest couch refuses;
All He suffers for thy good,
To redeem thee by His blood:
Joy, then, joy beyond all gladness!
Christ hath done away with sadness!
Hence, all sorrow and repining,
For the Sun of grace is shining.
Weakness here and poverty,
In such love He comes to thee,
Nor the hardest couch refuses;
All He suffers for thy good,
To redeem thee by His blood:
Joy, then, joy beyond all gladness!
Christ hath done away with sadness!
Hence, all sorrow and repining,
For the Sun of grace is shining.
May the love of the Risen Christ give you great joy on this most blessed day.
