The Resurrection of Our Lord

Alleluia! Jesus is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! Alleluia!

A humiliating scourging by the guards. Death on a cross. A three day rest in the tomb, making all tombs of the saints holy. A victory parade in hell. The stone is rolled away to the angelic message to those who came to honor their dead friend. “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how He told you?”

The grave could not hold Him. Easter changes everything for you! Death came into the world and to you through Adam. But now the resurrection of your body from the grave is ensured through Jesus the second and last Adam who rose on the Third Day. He is the head of a new humanity: forgiven sinners who believe in Him.

Alleluia! Jesus is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! Alleluia!
