"Christ has indeed been raised from the dead!" 1 Corinthians 15:20.

The resurrection of Jesus should fill us with joy. 
It is the proof . . . 
that His sacrifice was accepted, 
that His foes were conquered, 
that His Father was well pleased. 

He was seized as our Surety, 
He was punished as our Substitute, 
He died as our Representative, and 
He arose as our glorious Deliverer!

The resurrection of Jesus says . . . 
that sin is put away, 
that righteousness is brought in, 
that Satan is defeated, 
that death is unsung, 
that justice is satisfied, 
that the law is magnified, 
that Scripture is fulfilled, 
that the gates of heaven are thrown open, 
that God is at peace with us, 
that eternal redemption is obtained, and 
that the salvation of all God's people is absolutely certain! 

Beloved, Jesus is risen, therefore . . . 
let us rise from earth, sin and sadness,
let us set our affections on things above, 
let us put off the old man with his deeds, 
let us rejoice in God our Saviour,
let us trust in His merits,
let us confide in His power, 
let us rest on His Word!
