Sunday's Hymn

See, What A Morning

See, what a morning, gloriously bright,
With the dawning of hope in Jerusalem;
Folded the grave-clothes, tomb filled with light,
As the angels announce, “Christ is risen!”
See God’s salvation plan,
Wrought in love, borne in pain, paid in sacrifice,
Fulfilled in Christ, the Man,
For He lives: Christ is risen from the dead!

See Mary weeping, “Where is He laid?”
As in sorrow she turns from the empty tomb;
Hears a voice speaking, calling her name;
It’s the Master, the Lord raised to life again!
The voice that spans the years,
Speaking life, stirring hope, bringing peace to us,
Will sound till He appears,
For He lives: Christ is risen from the dead!

One with the Father, Ancient of Days,
Through the Spirit who clothes faith with certainty.
Honor and blessing, glory and praise
To the King crowned with pow’r and authority!
And we are raised with Him,
Death is dead, love has won, Christ has conquered;
And we shall reign with Him,
For He lives: Christ is risen from the dead!

The Easter Edition

The Cross
From Christianity.com, The Ironies of the Cross by D. A. Carson: The Man Who Is Mocked As King Is King, Part 1 of 4, The Man Who Is Utterly Powerless is Powerful, (Part 2 of 4).

From Ligonier Ministries: Is It Accurate to Say That God Died on the Cross? (I’ve noticed that the hymnal my church uses changes the words in hymns like And Can It Be? and Alas and Died My Saviour Die? to avoid the words that might suggest that God died on the cross. Apparently the compilers had the same scruples R. C. Sproul has.)

Monergism.com is featuring articles on the cross and that atonement this month.

The Resurrection
Thomas needed tangible proof  and “in the peculiar providence of God, the report of Thomas’s experience is one of the things the Spirit of God will use to bring [us] to faith.” (For the Love of God)

Easter Sunday in Minnesota. (The Sacred Sandwich)

Easter Food
Two sauces for baked ham. (Mennonite Girls Can Cook)

Good Friday

Am I a stone, and not a sheep,
     That I can stand, O Christ, beneath Thy cross,
To number drop by drop Thy blood’s slow loss,
    And yet not weep?

Not so those women loved
     Who with exceeding grief lamented Thee;
Not so fallen Peter weeping bitterly;
     Not so the thief was moved;

Not so the Sun and Moon
     Which hid their faces in a starless sky,
A horror of great darkness at broad noon—
     I, only I.

Yet give not o’er,
     But seek Thy sheep, true Shepherd of the flock;
Greater than Moses, turn and look once more
     And smite a rock.

—Christina Rossetti
