Why do you look for the living among the dead?  He is not here; He is risen!  Luke 24:5-6

The stone wasn’t rolled away for Jesus,

it was rolled away for us.  

To enter in. 

To see the miracle of our Lord –

that He was lifted up from death to life. 

 We peer over the shoulders

of those who found that empty tomb

and we rejoice with them

 in the emptiness of it. 

For we thrill to a risen Savior,

the miracle of God’s love.    

Jesus took the pain of sin and death for us. 

He felt the sting,

the throb,

the agony,

of all that was ugly,

dark,

and without God. 

He did what we could never do –

and then He loved us even more.

He made a way for us to receive His love,

His atonement,

His joy. 

Simply by believing.

 May your Easter be filled with remembering,

believing,

and praise for a Savior’s Love! 

He is risen!
