HE IS RISEN

RISEN INDEED


In this heart of love and grief

Christ has risen
In this heart of trust in Jesus
He is risen indeed

In this land of sunrise and sunset

Jesus is risen
In this place of abundant provision

He is risen indeed

In this faith of crucifixion and death
He has risen
In this faith of resurrection and life
He is risen indeed

In this world of the lost and found

The Lord Jesus Christ has risen
In His kingdom of the chosen and redeemed
He is risen - He is risen indeed

1 Corinthians 15

The Resurrection of Christ

    1 Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
   3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
   9 For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11 Whether, then, it is I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
