The Son Has Risen!

He’s alive, He’s alive, and so are we!  Because of His sacrifice we have eternal life.  Almost from the day of his resurrection there have been those that questioned the reality that He truly rose from the dead!    Some have offered the theory that He was not really dead, and recovered in the tomb.  That does not explain the mistake that would have had to have been made by the experienced Roman soldiers that had crucified many men and declared them dead, then the questions remains how could a badly injured Jesus  move the stone, and what about the Roman guards the were stationed to prevent anyone from getting to the body?  Others said the disciples could have stolen his body and claimed he rose from the grave!  If that were so why would virtually every one of the disciples have submitted to die in horrible deaths to protect a lie?  If the Romans or the Jewish religious leaders had stolen the body they would have displayed the body to prove he did not rise from the dead!

No, my friend, he did come back to life.  He conquered death for both himself and us!

No, the Son has risen!

Because He Lives……

 (Verse 1)
God sent his son
They called him Jesus
He came to love
Heal and forgive
He lived and died
To buy my pardon
An empty grave
Is there to prove
My Savior lives

(Chorus)
Because he lives
I can face tomorrow
Because he lives
All fear is gone
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because he lives

(Verse 2)
How sweet to hold
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
A newborn baby
And feel the pride
And joy he gives
But greater still
The calm assurance
This child can face
Uncertain days
Because he lives

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
And then one day
I’ll cross the river
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain
And then as death
Gives way to victory
I’ll see the lights
Of glory and
I’ll know he lives
