The Good News of Easter (with Help from Disney)

This weekend, Christians celebrate the greatest love story ever told. So in honor of Good Friday, I thought I’d repost this music video I made a couple of years ago.

For almost eighty years, Disney has been captivating our imaginations with beautifully rendered fairy stories. But as J.R.R. Tolkien explained to C.S. Lewis, the Gospel provides us with an authentic, eye-witness account of “a fairy tale that’s true.”

The world may not need yet another cover of Frozen’s award-winning “Let it Go,” but it desperately needs the message embedded in this version. Let its truth sink into the depths of your heart and resonate within: Christ Jesus is risen. He is risen indeed!
