"What shall we give in return to the Lord for his gifts?

For us he became human

and on account of our corrupted nature

the Word became flesh and dwelt in our midst.

He was the benefactor to those who were ungrateful,

the liberator of those in bondage

and the sun of righteousness to those who dwell in darkness.

He who was incorrupt ascended the cross,

the light descended into hades,

the life suffered death,

and he was the resurrection for those who had fallen.

Let us sing to him: Our God, glory to you!"

C.S. Lewis used to say,  "There is no story we would rather have true." By death he has conquered death. He is risen!
