“He is risen!”
“He is risen indeed! Alleluia!”
In “He rose,” rose is past tense of the verb rise, indicating an action has occurred and is no longer occurring. In “He is risen,” we assume the present perfect tense, indicating something that continues on. The Easter triumph and Easter joy continues until the end of time.
“Jesus Lives, the Victory’s Won! Death can no longer appall me!”
