As we move past the midterm elections, remember that God is sovereign. He is in control of everything. He owns everything. He raises nations up, and brings them low. While His children were being persecuted by the Romans, He remained God. While His children are being persecuted around the world today, He remains God. Regardless of how the elections went for you, He is God. Live for His glory in the dark, and dead world. Share the good news of Christ Jesus’ crucifixion, death, burial, and resurrection with everyone. Remember His words to the remaining disciples before His ascension, “… 16But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. 17When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful. 18And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age…”(Matt 28:16-20)
Our true King is Christ, and our true citizenship is in His kingdom! Hallelujah Christ arose!
Low in the Grave He Lay
| 1 | Low in the grave He lay— Jesus my Savior! Waiting the coming day— Jesus my Lord! |
| Up from the grave He arose, With a mighty triumph o’er His foes He arose a Victor from the dark domain, And He lives forever with His saints to reign. He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose! |
|
| 2 | Vainly they watch His bed— Jesus, my Savior! Vainly they seal the dead— Jesus my Lord! |
| 3 | Death cannot keep his prey— Jesus, my Savior! He tore the bars away— Jesus my Lord! |
