A few years ago I was at Andrew Peterson’s, “Behold the Lamb of God” Christmas concert. The first half of this concert is done “in the round” which is simply each artist taking a turn to play a couple of their personal songs before everyone joins together to play the “Behold the Lamb of God” album in its entirety. When it came time for Andrew to play he stepped up to the microphone and played “Is He Worthy?” and a song called “His Heart Beats”.

His Heart Beats, by Andrew Peterson

Take a couple of minutes and watch this video and follow along with the lyrics.

I kid you not, a few lines into the song and I am weeping. “‘Cause the blood that brought us peace with God is racing through His veins”.

With Christ’s death, He brought about new life. Death came through the first man, Adam and through the new man, Jesus, the resurrection of the dead and the reclamation of God’s original plan now comes.

In that grave, when His heart began to beat again, death began seeing the end. Sad things started to come untrue. Do you see it?

You have been redeemed!
You have been bought with a price!
Death doesn’t have to have a hold of you anymore!

Because of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection we are able to KNOW Him!!

It is my hope that this Easter you are reawakened to the beauty of Christ’s resurrection and as our hearts begin to beat in rhythm with His, I pray we get to see His Kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Happy Easter!
He is risen!
He is risen indeed!
