I few weeks ago I posted Carman’s Sunday’s on the Way video in Parting Words From The WORD. Believe it or not, I’ve been back to that post several times, just to watch the song again. It’s amazing how something so old and out of date can still bring chills and tears as I envision Jesus fighting the evil one at his own game of death.
And now here we are, two weeks later and it’s Good Friday, the Friday before the Resurrection Sunday Carman referred in the video. The day Jesus was betrayed, suffered, and died for you and me. But the good news is, the battle wasn’t over on Friday.
I want to share one more Carman song with you as we look toward the day Jesus overcame the grave and freed us from the consequences of sin forever. Yes, we were freed from the consequences, but those consequences of sin were still paid in the battle between good and evil. They were paid by The Champion.
The Lord will march out like a champion,
like a warrior he will stir up his zeal;
with a shout he will raise the battle cry
and will triumph over his enemies. Isaiah 42:13
This weekend as we celebrate Jesus’ death and resurrection, let’s remember that through his triumph over the grave, Jesus the Champion triumphed over his enemy–and ours–forever.
He is risen!
