Happy Easter
Matthew 28:1–10; Acts 2:23–32; 1 Corinthians 15:3–5; John 20:14–18
“Lightning flashed around him, and his robe was dazzling white! The guards were stunned and terrified—lying motionless like dead men. Then the angel walked up to the tomb, rolled away the stone, and sat on top of it!
The women were breathless and terrified until the angel said to them, “There’s no reason to be afraid. I know you’re here looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn’t here—He has risen victoriously, just as He said! Come inside the tomb and see the place where our Lord was lying.”
HE HAS RISEN!
—Fulfillment, Victory, New Life
Celebration! Our God has robbed the grave—rolled away the stone.
Death is defeated.
Holy Saturday was waiting with hope!
Sunday morning is singing with joy!
We can celebrate—King Jesus is alive!
Abba,
Thank You—He is risen! Thank You for promises fulfilled! Thank You for promises validated!
Jesus invites us and welcomes us to come close, just as He did to His followers before and after His death and resurrection.
Worthy is the Lamb! We praise You, Abba, Jesus, Holy Spirit—our beautiful and amazing triune God! Alleluia! Thank You for our redemption and the One who sets us free! Thank You for the gift of eternal life!
May we be people who love the Lord our God with all our hearts, all our souls, and all our strength. May we be people who love our neighbors as ourselves. May we be people who put our hope and faith in Jesus. May we be people who seek Jesus, spend time with Jesus, become more like Jesus, and practice His way.
Hallelujah! He has risen!
“With my whole heart, with my whole life,
And with my innermost being,
I bow in wonder and love before you, the holy God!
Yahweh, you are my soul’s celebration.
How could I ever forget the miracles of kindness
you’ve done for me?
You kissed my heart with forgiveness,
in spite of all I’ve done.”
Thank You, Abba. Amen.
