A young Jewish man started attending some evangelistic services held by the Reverend Alfred Henry Ackley. After five or six nights he waited to talk with the minister after the service. This was his question: "Why should I worship a dead Jew?"
This question startled Brother Ackley, whose forthright emphatic answer was, "He lives!"
After his re-reading of the resurrection story in the Bible, the words "He is risen" struck Ackley with new meaning. As a result, he sat down at the piano. The thought of God's ever-living presence brought to him the music promptly and easily for the convincing song, "He Lives!"
