HE IS RISEN

And when I think that God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in

That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Here's a different Easter story:
Three years after the Russian Revolution of 1917, a great anti-God rally was arranged in Kiev. The powerful orator Bukharin was sent from Moscow, and for an hour he demolished the Christian faith with argument, abuse and ridicule. At the end there was silence.
Then a man rose and asked to speak. He was a priest of the Russian Orthodox Church. He went and stood next to Bukharin. Facing the people, he raised his arms and spoke just three triumphant words: ‘Christ is risen!’
At once the entire assembly rose to their feet and gave the joyful response, ‘He is risen indeed!’ It was a devastating moment for an atheist politician, who had no answer to give to this ancient Easter liturgy. He had not realised he was simply too late: how can you convince people that God does not exist when they have already encountered Him?

He is risen indeed. Alleluia! Happy Easter everyone.

I hope it’s ok to post here. I’m not a believer, though I would like to be. Annies post has brought joy to my heart, because I love that hymn. I’ve also enjoyed reading everyone’s lovely posts.

I wish Gransnetters the peace that passeth all understanding this Eastertide. 💐
