A cross, touched by blood, water, and flesh. A tomb with empty and gaping mouth. A world left astonished, to wonder and be amazed. "HE IS RISEN!"
All of time led up to that moment. All the intricacies of history were ordained in such a way as to pave the road for a 33-year moment when the God-man would be born, live, die, and live again.
He is the true climax of all the stories. The answer to all the questions. He is the hope of all mankind whom He loves. He is light and life for all of eternity, and darkness and death are conquered before the real war ever began to rage.
No longer dead, He is the firstfruits of the eternal glorious existence.
He is alive, and we are saved.
"Worthy is the Lamb, worthy of our praise.
Worthy is the One who has overcome the grave.
Let the people dance. Let the people sing.
Worthy is our Mighty King!"*
In a matter of hours a call will go out. "He is risen!" May all His people cry out in reply, "HE IS RISEN INDEED!"
*Alive Forever Amen, Travis Cottrell

There's nothing more amazing than singing something like "There in the ground, His body lay, Light of the World by darkness slain, THEN BURSTING FORTH, IN GLORIOUS DAY, UP FROM THE GRAVE HE ROSE AGAIN." It is absolutely incredible. How awesome that we serve a God who is ALIVE. :)
