First Importance: Christ is Risen

 

Day 1: Christ is Risen

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).


 

No one need grieve over sins—forgiveness has dawned from the tomb

No one need fear death—the Savior’s death has freed us from it

While its captive, He stifled it

He despoiled Hades and He entered into it

It was vexed when it was tasted His flesh

Foreseeing this Isaiah proclaimed:

“Hades,” he said, “was angered when he met You below”

It was vexed because it was abolished

It was vexed because it was mocked

It was vexed because it was slain

It was vexed because it was shackled

It received a body and encountered God

It took earth and came face to face with heaven

It took what it saw and fell by what it could not see

O death, where is your sting, O hell, where is your victory?

Christ is risen and demons have fallen

Christ is risen and angels rejoice

Christ is risen and life rules

Christ is risen and not one dead remains in the tomb

For Christ, having risen from the dead has become the firstfruit of those that slept

To Him be the glory and dominion for ever and ever, Amen.


~ John Chrysostom ~ Antioch, Syria, 347- 407
