Jesus
Lives! The Vict’ry’s Won – Lutheran Service Book #490
Romans 8:11, 35-39; 2 Corinthians 5:15; Philippians
1:20-21
Jesus lives! The vict’ry’s won!
Death no longer can appall me;
Jesus, lives! Death’s reign is done!
From the grave will Christ recall me.
Brighter scenes will then commence;
This shall be my confidence.
Besides
deliverance from spiritual death, Christ’s resurrection establishes our own
resurrection and a share in eternal glory. Fulfillment awaits us in the future.
Recall God’s promises (John 11:25; 14:19) In Him we have new hope now! (see 1
Peter 1:3-4)
Almighty
God, through the resurrection of Your Son You have secured peace for our
troubled consciences. Grant us this peace evermore that trusting in the merit
of Your Son we may come at last to the perfect peace of heaven; through Jesus
Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
one god, now and forever.[1]
