Show Notes

Dr. Zeile's homily for the Easter Vigil service on the night of Holy Saturday expresses the Bible teaching that in the early morning of Easter, Christ appeared as Victor in Satan's realm, proclaiming victory among all those held in prison, traditionally to all who slept with Abraham. Luther's hymn on this theme, "Christ Lag in Todesbanden" (Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands) and the celebration of Holy Communion are included in this program.
