Then He Rose - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
The song “Then He Rose” by Elevation Worship is a powerful reminder of the power of Jesus’ resurrection. The lyrics remind us of the heavy cross Jesus carried for us and the perfect love He showed us by saying “Father forgive them”. The chorus proclaims that the grave has lost its hold and Jesus has paid it all.
The Bible tells us that Jesus’ death and resurrection was the ultimate act of love and sacrifice. In Romans 5:8, it says “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Jesus’ death and resurrection was the ultimate act of love and sacrifice for us.
The bridge of the song reminds us that death and sin have been defeated and that Jesus reigns forevermore. This is echoed in 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 which says “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
The song “Then He Rose” is a powerful reminder of the power of Jesus’ resurrection and the ultimate act of love and sacrifice He made for us. We can take comfort in knowing that Jesus has paid it all and that He reigns forevermore.
