He is Risen!



On Thursday, Jesus and His disciples ate the Last Supper.


On Friday, my Savior was nailed to the cross to die for my sins.


"As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. "Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene,
 who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him." {Mark 15:5-6}


This morning, He rose. 


I don't understand it all. Why? Who would love me, love all of us so much that He would endure all that pain and suffering?


They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left.  Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, come down from the cross and save yourself!” In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and 
believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him. {Mark 15:27-32}


He could have said no. Anyone else would have. But He IS NOT anyone else. He is our Savior, Jesus Christ.


He died, and today He was resurrected. He has risen! Oh, how thankful I am for that.


Wishing you the best of Easters today, celebrating life.


Happy, happy Easter, sweet friends!


For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. {Romans 8:38-39}


Be Blessed,
