Hallelujah!
He's risen indeed!
Praise the Lord!
Just read the resurrection narrative from the gospels of Luke and John. Because he lives, I can face tomorrow. Listen and enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4M-zwE33zHA
Indeed, He has Risen!
He is risen indeed!
Hosannah, Hallelujah! Rejoicing and giving Praise. Risen and Alive.
If I may insert some Luther....

Hier ist das rechte Osterlamm, Davon Gott hat geboten, Das ist hoch an des Kreuzes Stamm In heißer Lieb gebraten,Das Blut zeichnet unsre Tür, Das hält der Glaub dem Tode für, Der Würger kann uns nicht mehr schaden. Halleluja!
Here is the true Easter lambthat God has offered which high on the trunk of the cross is roasted in burning love, whose blood marks our doors, which faith holds in front of death, the strangler can harm us no moreAlleluia

So feiern wir das hohe FestMit Herzensfreud und Wonne, Das uns der Herre scheinen läßt, Er ist selber die Sonne, Der durch seiner Gnade Glanz Erleuchtet unsre Herzen ganz, Der Sünden Nacht ist verschwunden..Halleluja!
Thus we celebrate the high feastwith joy in our hearts and delight that the Lord lets shine for us, He is himself the sun who through the brilliance of his grace enlightens our hearts completely, the night of sin has disappeared. Alleluia !

Wir essen und leben wohl In rechten Osterfladen,Der alte Sauerteig nicht soll Sein bei dem Wort Gnaden,Christus will die Koste sein Und speisen die Seel allein,,Der Glaub will keins andern leben..Halleluja!
We eat and live well on the right Easter cakes, the old sour-dough should not be with the word grace, Christ will be our foodand alone feed the soul,faith will live in no other way. Alleluia
Lovely (true) story from Russia in the communist era. They decided to have a ceremony to bury Christ, and got an old priest they thought was senile to conduct the parody. During the "funeral", he shouted "Christos voskres!" (Christ is risen!"), to which those present automatically gave the response "Voistino voskres!" ("He is risen indeed!"). So the atheists who had organised the "funeral" were left tearing their hair.....
I give it to you in Albanian: "Krishti u ngjall!" "Me te vertete u ngjall!"
May his risen life enter our lives more deeply as we celebrate his resurrection!
He is risen! - literally and physically as Andy Stanley preached this morning.
Der Herr ist auferstanden! Er ist wahrhaftig auferstanden!

Ja, Han är sannerligen uppstånden! Halleluja!
(Many hours too late, even in America, but if you've never heard the Exsultet, you really should: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qkle6URiM4s. (The nicest version I could find without listening through all of them, but unfortunately not quite as beautiful as the one I heard tonight. I don't think I've ever heard it sung that beautifully.))
Love it!
*smile* Just got into my study and rejoice with you!
Χριστός ἀνέστη!
主基督已经复活！
Romans 6:3-5 (ESV)
3Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
5For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.
