Living he loved you, Dying he saved you.

Today we celebrate Resurrection Sunday, the day that Jesus rose up into heaven from earth, after being crucified on the cross so that one day we might realise who He is and accept Him into our heart and Lord and Saviour, because by living he loved you; dying he saved you; buried, he carried your sins away; and rising, he justified freely forever.

Justified means, 'just as if you never sinned'.

We sang this song at church this morning. The lyrics are just beautiful.
'Glorious Day' by Casting Crowns.

One day when Heaven was filled with His praises
One day when sin was as black as could be
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin
Dwelt among men, my example is He
Word became flesh and the light shined among us
His glory revealed

  CHORUS:

  Living, He loved me
  Dying, He saved me
  Buried, He carried my sins far away
  Rising, He justified freely forever
  One day He's coming
  Oh glorious day, oh glorious day

One day they led Him up Calvary's mountain
One day they nailed Him to die on a tree
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He
Hands that healed nations, stretched out on a tree
And took the nails for me

CHORUS

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer

One day the stone rolled away from the door
Then He arose, over death He had conquered
Now is ascended, my Lord evermore
Death could not hold Him, the grave could not keep Him
From rising again

CHORUS

One day the trumpet will sound for His coming
One day the skies with His glories will shine
Wonderful day, my Beloved One bringing
My Savior Jesus is mine
