"Our Lord Jesus was a Corpse"

"On a Saturday long ago, our Lord Jesus was a corpse."  So begins this brief meditation by Russell Moore.  So painfully true.

And yet, the emphasis today must be on the word "was."

Because now, our Lord Jesus is no longer a corpse.  He is alive!

When I was boy, we had a record of the song below, and I remember playing it again and again and again until I knew all the words--and rejoicing the whole way.

He's alive!
