Christians gather at the end of the day to raise their voices in thankful praise, prayer, and receive the assurance of sins forgiven in the Lord’s Supper.
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia! Sinners should fear God. Sinners ought to die for their wickedness. The grave should be the place of ultimate defeat for mankind. Yet on this day, the Second Adam did all that the first had left undone. Bearing our guilt and suffering our verdict, the Son of Man died, but three days later He rose in glory. As a result, fear is gone, mankind is redeemed, and Christ calls us His own brothers. Jesus came from death to life, and through baptism He brings us with Him. Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
