LSB 480: He’s Risen, He’s Risen

Sharper Iron from KFUO Radio

C.F.W. Walther’s marvelous Easter hymn invites all people to join in the praises of Christ Jesus the Lord. By His resurrection, the Word of God made flesh has freed us from the prison of sin, death, and the devil. Though the evil one and all his evil host cheered to see Jesus dead and buried, their shouts of triumph were quickly silenced by the risen Lord. His resurrection means the defeat of sin, death, and the devil, so that we no longer need to fear these enemies. Jesus has welcomed us into the eternal presence of God by His atoning blood, and so our praises of Him resound with those of the heavenly host and all creation for all eternity.

Rev. Dr. Brian Kachelmeier, pastor at Crown of Life Lutheran Church in San Antonio, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Lutheran Service Book #480, “He’s Risen, He’s Risen.”

Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen.
