He is Risen!

We went to church this morning and got to hear a very clear presentation of the gospel. Unfortunately, our pastor is so aware of those who might be attending church for the first time that he does not say, "He is risen!" on Easter Sunday anymore. I'm not going to leave the church over this, but it does bother me a little bit. I realize that it's not a big deal and it may make someone new to church wonder about what is going on, but I think it's worth it so that those of us who have placed our hope in Christ can enjoy declaring the fact that Christ is risen indeed.
