Happy Easter

"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 the 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 worshipped him. Then Jesus said to the, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, there they will see me."
(Matthew 28:1-10)


Was the stone rolled away to let Jesus out? No. He was already out. The stone was rolled away so that we could see in! Of all the religions that have been founded, which one can claim that their founder is still alive?

  1. I have been singing this song ALL Day, it is one of my favorites, dating way back to the 70's. The version I had was from Second Chapter Of Acts. That is the name of the group. Happy Easter!!!
