As already stated, it is the day on which our blessed Lord arose from the dead — the day that declared before the universe His triumph over death and the grave, and over all the power of Satan. And surely this is a fact of deepest importance for our souls.
At the cross the whole question of good and evil was brought to an issue, and the resurrection of the Lord Jesus revealed the triumph of good. It was life out of death, the bringing in of a new creation where the old had been condemned in the judgment of God. Such was the victory of the Lord Jesus, and His resurrection on the first day of the week proclaimed the completeness of the victory. It was thus also the bringing in of a new era in which are unfolded to faith the deep, eternal counsels of God and all the blessings of Christianity founded on redemption and made good to us through the death and resurrection of Christ.
