Smith Craig Worship He Is Risen Craig Smith Matthew 28:6 Prophets foretold the Messiah would come Born from the womb of a virgin His name Emmanuel, God's chosen one Many blind eyes would receive Him He spoke with authority, He healed the lame And the captive cries out to His name Chorus He is risen Just as He said He is risen He is risen Up from the dead He is risen He taught that the Kingdom of God was at hand And that He and the Father are one Preaching repentance throughout all the land And redemption would be through the Son When the Pharisees, they went into a rage And plotted an end to His days Chorus Beaten and mocked, He would be crucified The sentence of death He carried Thorns on His head and a wound in His side He gave up His breath and was buried He rose from the grave the Son of the Highest The Horn of Salvation is Jesus The one mediator between man & God, Jesus the Lord Chorus He is risen Light of the world He is risen The Commander, Messiah Is risen Son of the Highest He is risen The great, mighty God Lord of all Jesus is God's fulfillment of His promise given in the old testament. That promise was a substitute for the sin of each man, by the shed blood of God's only Son Jesus. Just as the prophet (Isaiah 7:14) foretold. God's chosen One, Immanuel was born of a virgin. Even as a child of twelve He astonished the priest (Luke 2:47) with the authority with which He spoke. His ministry did not actually begin until the age of thirty. But in a span of three years his life changed the world forever. He preformed numerous miracles, healing the lame (John 5:8), the blind (Matthew 20:34) even raising the dead (John 11:43-44). Those trapped by sin, then and now, call on His name to be set free. His teaching was radical. Speaking of such things as the kingdom of heaven is at hand (Matthew 3:2), now is the day of salvation (2 Cor. 6:2), to know Him was to know the Father (John 14:7). The theme of His message focused on our need of repentance, and forgiveness of our sins. He boldly stated He was the only accepted path to forgiveness and fellowship with God. That unless a man repent of his sins and receive Jesus as his Savior, he could not enter heaven (Acts 4:12). For this teaching He enraged the Pharisees, who jealously guarded the religious control of the people. Thus keeping them in bondage to a false legalism. This is what the Bible in Proverbs 14:12 tells us, the ways of man are the ways of death. True to the prophesy of old, He became the Lamb without a spot or blemish, to be sacrificed for our sin. He who had known no sin (2 Cor. 5:21), was beaten, mocked, spit on, and crowned with a crown of thorns. Then in His final act of obedience He suffered the cross. Giving up His last breath He accomplished what none of us ever could. Jesus became the perfect and acceptable substitute for our sin. Thus we now have an avenue to eternal life through Jesus the Messiah. With the resurrection comes the crushing of the head of Satan. Death no longer has to mean separation from God. Now as we turn to the Risen One, the Mediator between man and his Creator, the Horn of Salvation, the Light of the world, the Commander, we share in His victory of all eternity.--Ron Stumbaugh |
