'He is not here, for he has risen, as he said...' (Matthew 28:6)
'Christ is risen, He is risen indeed!
Oh, sing hallelujah.
Join the chorus, sing with the redeemed;
Christ is risen, He is risen indeed.' (Keith and Kristyn Getty)
This post comes a little late, but we can be thankful every day for the joy that first Easter Sunday brought - and is still bringing today.
Imagine the disciples being transformed from the misery and defeat of Friday to the shock and rejoicing on Sunday, when they learned that their Christ was not dead after all. Not only that, He was truly the Son of God and He'd just delivered a death blow to the power of sin over Man.
Without the resurrection of Christ, we would still be despairing over a martyr. We would still be lost in sin, maybe foolishly trusting in a dead Lord.
But He did not stay dead.
He did what no other man could ever do and rose from the dead. He truly is Lord. Through Him, the fear of death has been removed for us.
Thank you Lord for the eternal life we have in You.
Thank you for Easter Sunday!
