He is Risen!

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.” Matthew 28:1-10

May we all be blessed with a deeper faith, an unconditional love, heartfelt obedience, unquestionable trust, quiet submission and a life purposely live in Him – by our Resurrected Christ!

He is Risen!

Happy Easter friends!

{His Blood of Redemption}

 ”In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.” Ephesians 1:7

Jesus paid a debt He did not owe, because we owed a debt we could not pay. Our sins had to be paid for with Jesus’ blood.

“For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.” 1 Peter 1:18-19

 

He – The Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world…He who is our Passover Lamb.

“Nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption. Hebrews 9:12

His blood shed for me – for you – for all of us.

“And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood you purchased for God
persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.”

His redeeming blood.

As we take time to remember Christ sufferings, may you be comforted with the knowledge that we have a nurturing God who loves us unconditionally….

He who will not abandon, nor forget us.

And as we celebrate His resurrection, may you be blessed with a renewed faith,

A faith so strong – in our ever faithful God.
