In this Life Together Digest, the Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison, president of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS), discusses the joy of the resurrection as the Easter season draws to a close.
Reflecting on the hymn "Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands" (LSB 458), Harrison discusses the atonement which Christ's death and resurrection have accomplished for us.
"Luther says the resurrection is so significant it means that for us death will be just like a falling asleep to take a brief nap. ... Nothing can snuff out our 50 days of Easter joy, which will give way to eternity," says Harrison.
