Our breakthrough is not around the corner. It’s a season to rejoice and remind ourselves of the victory we already have in Christ. This is why Easter season is the season of hope and shouts of triumph. He won! He is victorious and we share in his victory by being united to him through faith in him. Darkness could not hide his blazing light. Death could not hold him down and Satan could not hold him captive. In his resurrection he won the battle over death and hades and took the keys(deprived them of their power and authority) with him thereby giving those who believe in Him victory and freedom from the bondage of Satan forever.īy his resurrection Christ has proven that he is indeed the Sovereign Lord over creation, over death, over Satan, and over all evil. Jesus by his death and resurrection broke the chains of death and Hell over us and for us. I love this hymn because it spells out clearly the plundering(harrowing) of Hell and the enemy of our souls by our Lord Jesus Christ for our redemption.


Lord, by the stripes which wounded thee From death’s dread sting thy servants free, That we may live, and sing to thee. He brake the age-bound chains of hell The bars from heaven’s high portals fell Let hymns of praise his triumph tell. On the third morn he rose again Glorious in majesty to reign O let us swell the joyful strain. Alleluia! 4. Death’s mightiest powers have done their worst, And Jesus hath his foes dispersed Let shouts of praise and joy outburst. The strife is o’er, the battle done Now is the Victor’s triumph won O let the song of praise be sung.Īlleluia! 2.
