Christ Dynasty!

The Lord is Risen! Yes sir, it is Easter Sunday! Great, great day in the Christian calendar! Changed history forever with the start of a new era! An epoch of martyrs and sacrifical living! A period that will last till today, more than 2000 years later! And if you inquire as to why? Then, here it goes!!

Christ, the Lord, is risen today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply, Alleluia!

Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!
Lo! the Sun’s eclipse is over, Alleluia!
Lo! He sets in blood no more, Alleluia!

Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Alleluia!
Christ hath burst the gates of hell, Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids His rise, Alleluia!
Christ hath opened paradise, Alleluia!

Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Once He died our souls to save, Alleluia!
Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!

Soar we now where Christ hath led, Alleluia!
Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise, Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!

Hail, the Lord of earth and Heaven, Alleluia!
Praise to Thee by both be given, Alleluia!
Thee we greet triumphant now, Alleluia!
Hail, the resurrection, thou, Alleluia!

King of glory, Soul of bliss, Alleluia!
Everlasting life is this, Alleluia!
Thee to know, Thy power to prove, Alleluia!
Thus to sing and thus to love, Alleluia!

Hymns of praise then let us sing, Alleluia!
Unto Christ, our heavenly King, Alleluia!
Who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia!
Sinners to redeem and save. Alleluia!

But the pains that He endured, Alleluia!
Our salvation have procured, Alleluia!
Now above the sky He’s King, Alleluia!
Where the angels ever sing. Alleluia!

Jesus Christ is risen today, Alleluia!
Our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
Who did once upon the cross, Alleluia!
Suffer to redeem our loss. Alleluia!

Charles Wes­ley, 1739

We live in a very flawed and indaequate world! Where good is defined by human perspectives and defective speculations! 'Good' has been altered by circumstances and cultures and religions! So, no man is good! And that is why we need good to be redefined by somebody from out of this world, but also part of this world. We needed a Savior! One who would live with us and suffer with us and die with us and set a standard for us, but yet live forever! We needed a Messiah, we needed Christ! So 2000 years ago HE came, HE lived, HE suffered, HE died and HE rose again! And by doing so, HE redeemed us from eternal damnation! So people we have a standard of good set before us! So we can look to HIM for good and not look within, for we are all fallen creatures in need of a Savior!

So indeed the LORD is Risen! Happy Easter! Peace!
