Every Easter is a stark reminder that Christians worship a risen Lord. No other world religion can claim this transcending fact. The remains of the object of their worship and allegiance, continues to lie silent in a state of death and decay.
Our Savior’s tomb is empty! Hallelujah!!
He has risen indeed! He has conquered the grave, He has conquered our sin! Romans 8:37 tells us: we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? 1 Corinthians 15:55
Highest praises to our loving and benevolent King! New life, a new start, doesn’t begin on January 1st of every year, it belongs to this day and to every day, when we open up our hearts to see Jesus. He has risen, and through Him, He gives resurrected hope to all who seek it! The stone was rolled away, the tomb stands wide open—to receive the promise of eternal life.
Our Lord, He is alive! He has risen and we are poised to take flight…
But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul!
