New Song This Sunday: You Have Been Raised

I'm excited to return to the blogging world and I'm even more excited about this song that we'll be singing on Sunday. It's off of Sovereign Grace's album, Risen, and it's one of my favorites. The song plays the role of a person asking questions about his own sinfulness, forgiveness, redemption. All lofty topics, indeed. The chorus answers powerfully "YOU HAVE BEEN RAISED". This is our anthem as Christians, is it not? In 1 Corinthians 15 Paul attests to the historicity of the resurrection. He then hinges all of Christianity upon this very truth in verse 19. Indeed, if Christ has not risen from the grave, we are still in our sins. Praise the Lord that He has risen.
