“If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn’t rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.”
Timothy Keller, The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism

In the tomb so cold they laid Him,
death its victim claimed;
powers of hell they could not hold Him-
back to life He came!

Christ is risen, (Christ is risen),
death has been conquered, (death has been conquered),
Christ is risen, (Christ is risen),
He shall reign for ever!

Hell had spent its fury on Him,
left Him crucified;
yet by blood He boldly conquered,
sin and death defied.

Christ is risen,,,,

Now the fear of death is broken,
Love has won the crown.
Prisoners of the darkness – listen,
walls are tumbling down!

Christ is risen….

Raised from death, to heaven ascending,
Love’s exalted King:
let His song of joy unending
through the nations ring!

Christ is risen….
