He HAS risen!
What a blessed morning.
My heart is full.
Earth exploded on this morning so many years ago, as Jesus burst forth from the tomb.
The cross was not the end all.
A tomb wouldn’t hold Him back…
…and death could not contain Him.
This morning, as the sun rose, I re-read the Easter story.
It takes my breath away each time.
Reading, I enter into the scene, picture myself there.
Just one of the grief stricken, heart broken women coming to anoint my Lord.
I was one of those “who’d been forgiven much”…and, oh, how I loved Him!
These WORDS, this morning, stop me in my tracks.
Open my eyes.
Hold my tongue.
Why?
Because HE DIED!
Why else would I be at a grave?
But, put to rest, any question of doubt.
Moreover, this is also true:
A grave will not hold me.
Death will not claim me.
I am more than a conqueror, because of Christ Jesus, my Lord!
When all is said and done, do not seek the living among the dead – for I will not be there!
PS. And one more thing —–
Rest assured.
