Easter Sunday, Ressurection Sunday. What a blessed day we have to celebrate what Jesus did for us! Here are a few lyrics from my all time favorite Easter song...
Sin, where are your shackles?
Death, where is your sting?
Hell; has been defeated.
The grave could not hold the King!
Death, where is your sting?
Hell; has been defeated.
The grave could not hold the King!
Arise, My Love.
Arise, My Love.
The grave no longer has a hold on you.
No more death's sting,
No more suffering.
Arise, Arise, Arise!
Arise, My Love - Newsong
I get chills every time I hear it! What a glorious message. But I began thinking about the word arise. No one really uses it anymore. I also thought while reading so many scripture postings on Facebook today, that God isn't quoted telling Jesus to "arise". So I went to biblegateway.com and did some searching and here is something interesting I found.
Romans 15:12 And again, Isaiah says, "The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; in him the Gentiles will hope.
So thankful Jesus arose in every way...as King and from the grave!
Happy Easter from the Reid Family
