Craig Smith

Matthew 28:6

Prophets foretold the Messiah would come

Born from the womb of a virgin

His name Emmanuel, God's chosen one

Many blind eyes would receive Him

He spoke with authority, He healed the lame

And the captive cries out to His name

Chorus

He is risen

Just as He said

He is risen

He is risen

Up from the dead

He is risen

He taught that the Kingdom of God was at hand

And that He and the Father are one

Preaching repentance throughout all the land

And redemption would be through the Son

When the Pharisees, they went into a rage

And plotted an end to His days

Chorus

Beaten and mocked, He would be crucified

The sentence of death He carried

Thorns on His head and a wound in His side

He gave up His breath and was buried

He rose from the grave the Son of the Highest

The Horn of Salvation is Jesus

The one mediator between man & God, Jesus the Lord

Chorus

He is risen

Light of the world

He is risen

The Commander, Messiah

Is risen

Son of the Highest

He is risen

The great, mighty God

Lord of all

Jesus is God's fulfillment of His promise given in the old testament. That

Promise was a substitute for the sin of each man, by the she'd blood of

God's only Son Jesus. Just as the prophet (Isaiah 7:14) foretold. God's

Chosen One, Immanuel was born of a virgin. Even as a child of twelve He

Astonished the priest (Luke 2:47) with the authority with which He spoke.

His ministry did not actually begin until the age of thirty. But in a span of

Three years his life changed the world forever. He preformed numerous

Miracles, healing the lame (John 5:8), the blind (Matthew 20:34) even raising

The dead (John 11:43-44). Those trapped by sin, then and now, call on His

Name to be set free.

His teaching was radical. Speaking of such things as the kingdom of heaven

Is at hand (Matthew 3:2), now is the day of salvation (2 Cor. 6:2), to know Him

Was to know the Father (John 14:7). The theme of His message focused on our

Need of repentance, and forgiveness of our sins. He boldly stated He was

The only accepted path to forgiveness and fellowship with God. That unless

A man repent of his sins and receive Jesus as his Savior, he could not

Enter heaven (Acts 4:12).

For this teaching He enraged the Pharisees, who jealously guarded the

Religious control of the people. Thus keeping them in bondage to a false

Legalism. This is what the Bible in Proverbs 14:12 tells us, the ways of man

Are the ways of death. True to the prophesy of old, He became the Lamb

Without a spot or blemish, to be sacrificed for our sin. He who had known no

Sin (2 Cor. 5:21), was beaten, mocked, spit on, and crowned with a crown of

Thorns. Then in His final act of obedience He suffered the cross. Giving up

His last breath He accomplished what none of us ever could. Jesus became

The perfect and acceptable substitute for our sin. Thus we now have an

Avenue to eternal life through Jesus the Messiah. With the resurrection

Comes the crushing of the head of Satan. Death no longer has to mean

Separation from God. Now as we turn to the Risen One, the Mediator

Between man and his Creator, the Horn of Salvation, the Light of the world,

The Commander, we share in His victory of all eternity.--Ron Stumbaugh
