    About this ebook

    The resurrection of Christ is something we tend to think about only around Easter, but its significance extends far beyond the joyful celebration of Resurrection Sunday. This 16-day devotional examines the doctrine of the Resurrection using the text of Charles Wesley's hymn, "Christ the Lord is Risen Today" as its theme.

      Preface

      Christ’s resurrection was the turning point in history. For Christians, the celebration of Easter, or Resurrection Sunday, is one of the most      significant events of the year. However, the celebration lasts just one day, and then we move on with the busyness of life.

      The resurrection was a one-time event, but it has present as well as   future implications. The doctrine of the resurrection is far deeper than we often assume, and has a bearing on how we live our earthly lives, as well as how we will spend eternity.

      Easter is a time when we are naturally drawn to focus on the resurrection of Christ. These devotionals are meant to prolong that focus, while at the same time deepening our understanding of the words to this joyful and  triumphant hymn.

      Christ the Lord is Risen Today

      Christ the Lord is risen today, 

      Alleluia!

      Sons of men and angels say:

      Alleluia!

      Raise your joys and triumphs high,

      Alleluia!

      Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply:

      Alleluia!

      ~

      Lives again our glorious King,

      Alleluia!

      Where, O death, is now thy sting?

      Alleluia!

      Dying once He all doth save,

      Alleluia!

      Where thy victory, O grave?

      Alleluia!
