Did you check him all over for electricution? you would need to check areas like his feet, tail and his ears, if there is no obvious burn there then yes he is okay, if you see any signs of burns then you should take him to the vet just to make sure he is looked at properly. Like anyone else that is electricuted where the electricity goes in it has to go out that is why you check his feet and tail and ears. In the future you should remember to try and rabbit proof your house, rabbits chew, and they will chew on any electrical cord they find, so beware, you all of a sudden could be without a computer or phone or other such crictical device in your home, keep them covered or off the ground where your rabbit can't get at them, if you provide some good twigs or a log in your rabbits cage it does help out with his chewing outside of his cage. You have to remember that a rabbits teeth grow the same a beavers, and if they are not chewing on something that is hard enough to keep them filed down on their own, you will have a rabbit with a problem and you will have to take them to the vet to have them filed down, so give him some wood and he will be great. Good Luck

He should be ok if he is not acting injured now.
COVER ALL the CORDS, and don't leave the rabbit to get near the tree as the lights on the tree and wires on the tree will be enticing to chew and the rabbit could eat tinsel or something else that would harm him.

If he's still alive he'll be ok. You can put tobasco sauce or hot sauce or bitter apple spray on your electric chords to prevent your rabbit from chewing them. Rabbits don't like the taste of hot stuff. Another method you can try is making them non-accessible or cover them with a rug or run them through a pipe, etc.

next time make sure there is no wires in reach.
my rabbits are very guilty of chewing my computer wires.
so dont worry and just be calm.
if you are worried take him to the vets and they will tell you if anything is wrong.
he is probly just a little scared

yes he will be fine. you need to know as a rabbit owner that all cords need to be hidden or covered with a cord keeper. the cord keepers are very inexpensive and can be found at any electronics or hardware store.

You can't electrocute a rabbit, their feet are so well insulated that it is imposable to give them an electric shock.
