Get the appChrist Is Risen - An Easter plan by Matt MaherSample
Christ Is Risen
This particular song was inspired by a third century sermon by a guy named John Chrysostom. The concept of it is very simple. God used death to destroy death. He did not even have to lift a finger. He literally tricked death into destroying itself. Jesus used the process of death to completely eradicate it. So now it just becomes a process of transformation, it is a window or a doorway. So it became this chorus of ‘Christ has risen from the dead trampling over death by death.’
This is truth we need to remember on Easter. The church is coming together to proclaim that death has no string and that hell has no victory over us. Even though we struggle and we’re still imperfect people, we can still celebrate the victory that Christ has granted us in His son!!

About this Plan
In every stage of life and the human experience, there is the One who understands what we are going through. We are not alone and suffering is not some sort of vague part of life. In the midst of suffering, we gain a greater understanding of what Christ did for us - No matter how dark things may seem, no matter how difficult things may seem, He is with us. Join Matt Maher as he takes you inside some of his songs that reflect upon the death and resurrection of Jesus.
