He is not here: for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. Matthew 28:6
“He is risen” is the foundation of our Christian faith. If Christ did not rise from the dead, there would be no future resurrection; we are still in our sins; our faith is vain; those fallen asleep in Christ are perished and we are of all men most miserable! But Christ is risen and so our past has been pardoned; our present can be lived in the power of His resurrected life and our prospect is to be in His presence forever. “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” (1 Cor. 15:58)—K. C. Ung
I serve a risen Saviour, He’s in the world today;
I know that He is living, whatever men may say. —Alfred H. Ackley
