The Stone is rolled away!! He is Risen!!
Andrew Petersen - Rise Up, O You Sleeper, Awake: Jesus Makes All things New! (HT: Justin Taylor) A free song from Andrew Peterson, from his album The Resurrection Letters volume 2:
Here are the lyrics:
Words by Andrew PetersonCome broken and weary
Come battered and bruised
My Jesus makes all things new
All things newCome lost and abandoned
Come blown by the wind
He’ll bring you back home again
Home againRise up, O you sleeper, awake
The dawn is upon you
Rise up, O you sleeper, awake
He makes all things new
All things newCome burning with shame
Come frozen with guilt
My Jesus, he loves you still
Loves you stillRise up, O you sleeper, awake
The dawn is upon you
Rise up, O you sleeper, awake
He makes all things new
He makes all things newThe world was good
The world is fallen
The world will be redeemedSo hold on to the promise
The stories are true
That Jesus makes all things new
(The dawn is upon you)Music by Andrew Peterson, Ben Shive, and Andy Gullahorn
-- Ben Witherington provides a useful discussion of the Shroud of Turin (it just may be authentic!) and concludes:
If the Shroud of Turin is genuine, it is a miracle worth discussing. But at most it points to a much greater miracle, the message of which is this---- God's Yes to life, is a thousand times louder than death's No! Death does not have the last word about us, God does.
