OUR VICTORIOUS
SAVIOUR
“And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I
know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where
the Lord lay.”
Matthew
28:6,7 KJV
Cecil
F. Alexander wrote the hymn “He is Risen”.
“Said the angel, “He is risen!” Tell it out with joyful voice: He has
burst His three days’ prison; Let the whole wide earth rejoice: Death is
conquered, we are free, Christ has won the victory.” Our victorious Saviour rose from the dead
just as He said He would.
Pastor
Robert Lowry wrote another beautiful hymn about our Saviour “Low in the Grave
He Lay”. “Up from the grave He arose, With
a mighty triumph o’er His foes, He arose a Victor from the dark domain, And He
lives forever, with His saints to reign.
He arose! He arose! Hallelujah!
Christ arose!”
Thank
God for our risen Saviour. Jesus died on
the cross and paid the debt for us that we could never have paid. Elvina M. Hall wrote one of my favorite hymns
“Jesus Paid It All”. “Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.” What a loving Saviour we have!
If
you have never confessed your sins, asked God to forgive you and invited Jesus
into your heart to be your personal Saviour, I urge you to do it now. Don’t put it off because Jesus could come
back for us even while you are reading this devotion and you won’t be ready to
go with Him.
Heavenly
Father, I pray You will melt hearts so they will say yes to Jesus before it is
too late. Jesus, thank You for dying on
the cross for my sins. I love You. In Jesus’ Name, I pray. Amen.
