Beloved, today let’s sing and shout for JOY and praise to our victorious King Jesus. Let’s also never forget to thank Him for the victory over death that He claimed on our behalf. If He had not been resurrected from death, we would not have that glorious hope of everlasting life with Him in heaven.
“O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.
—1 Corinthians 15:55-57
Our ultimate Hope is only in our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ and no one or nothing else. As you listen to the song “Victorious” sung by Third Day, ponder the words of David as he praised our victorious Lord:
Psalm 20
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;
may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
2 May he send you help from the sanctuary
and grant you support from Zion.
3 May he remember all your sacrifices
and accept your burnt offerings.
4 May he give you the desire of your heart
and make all your plans succeed.
5 May we shout for JOY over your victory
and lift up our banners in the name of our God.
May the Lord grant all your requests.
6 Now this I know:
The Lord gives victory to his anointed.
He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary
with the victorious power of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
8 They are brought to their knees and fall,
but we rise up and stand firm.
9 Lord, give victory to the king!
Answer us when we call!
