St. Luke 24: 1-6
“Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass as they were much perplexed there about, behold two men stood by them in shining garments: and as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here but is risen!”
The single most important event that has ever occurred or will ever occur happened when Jesus Christ was resurrected and overcame death. Is resurrection only for a select few? No, resurrection is for all mankind. I look forward with faith to that glorious day when we will no longer live amongst sorrow, sickness and sin. I know with certainty that I can be reunited with loved ones never to be separated from them again. This is because Jesus Christ atoned on the cross for all sins and suffering of every kind. I can not repay Him but I can honor Him by repenting and following Him. I show my love for Him by sharing His gospel with others!!!
I testify this Easter Sunday that Jesus Christ lives and was resurrected on the third day. And because he overcame death we can all be resurrected and live with our families Eternally. What a glorious gift the Father has given to His children in the gift of His Son!!!
Easter means to me: no more sickness.
Easter means to me: no more sorrow.
Easter means to me: no more sin.
Easter means to me: no more death.
Easter means to me: Eternal joy!!!
