It's Easter, and today our Great Hymn One Liner comes from a German hymn. Generally Easter hymns are simple by the very nature of the event. Whilst profound in its significance, the Resurrection of Christ tends to be sung about in straightforward terms. And why not?
henceforth is death but the gate to life immortal
The line neatly captures the forever transformation that Easter Day brings to the singer, and everyone else, who believes. Nothing, following the resurrection, will ever be the same again, ever.
There is such a difference between the brick wall that unbelievers see themselves hitting in death and the gate to a new future that the believer in Jesus sees. This is a glorious day to be a Christian. Yet in truth, so is every other day!!
