Alleluia! 1 Christ the Lord ... | 7.7.7.7 with alleluia | Mark 3:7I need to examine Mark 3 to understand the connection to this Easter hymn about Christ's resurrection.
Mark 3 contains several passages:
- Jesus healing on the Sabbath (including a man with a withered hand)
- Pharisees plotting to destroy Jesus
- Jesus healing many and casting out demons
- Appointing the twelve apostles
- Accusations that Jesus is possessed by Beelzebul
- Jesus teaching about the strong man being bound
- Teaching about blasphemy against the Holy Spirit
- Jesus' true family
The most relevant connection appears to be Mark 3:6, where the Pharisees conspire to destroy Jesus, and Mark 3:27 about binding the strong man. The hymn celebrates that "Christ hath broken ev'ry chain" - which connects to Jesus overcoming the powers that sought to destroy Him and His victory over Satan (the strong man).
This hymn celebrates Christ's resurrection victory over the powers that plotted His death in Mark 3:6, breaking every chain. | Christus ist erstanden | | | | CHRISTUS IST ERSTANDEN |   | | | | 1 | | 272 | 0 | 13571 | 2 |
