Easter Delight!

HE IS RISEN!

Today is such a joyous day for Christians. My Savior is who He says He is and I am overwhelmed with joy and unending thankfulness. No other religion/faith rings true other than that of Jesus Christ. He said He would rise again, and He did.

I just want to share some quotes and scripture to set your heart today. I am eager to attend our Easter service. I can't wait for Jim (our pastor) to say He is Risen! and we reply He is Risen Indeed! I get chills thinking about it.

Christ, the Lord, is risen today, Alleluia!Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia! Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply, Alleluia! -Charles Wesley

It was the day of Preparation, and the sabbath was beginning. The women who had come with him from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid; then they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices which they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body.

While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel; and as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise."

And they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest.
