"A Risen Christ"
A new and nobler Genesis has dawned
The Resurrection of Christ was the truth of all truths among the early believers.
It was not the day of His death they made their Sabbath, but the first day of the week—the day when the sadness of the weeping women at the sepulcher was turned into gladness: and their watchword at meeting (the word of joy and welcome) was not ‘The Lord has died,’ but ‘The Lord has risen.’
It was with them a day of praise, more than for confession; for psalms of thanksgiving, more than for penitential tears. Conscious that a new and nobler Genesis had dawned on a darkened world, they sung in responsive melody, ‘This is the day which the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.’
