He Lives!

After setting His face towards the cross-

After the betrayal by a friend and a late night garden arrest-

After a beating and a scourging-

After the hammer drives nails into His hands and feet-

After transferring the care of His mother to His beloved disciple-

After forgiving the thief on the cross, and

After fulfilling all Scripture-

Jesus willingly died.  

His life was not taken from Him,

He laid it down, for me and for you.

But it didn't end there.

The Miracle of all Miracles was about to happen:

    "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 thereabout, 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:  remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."  Matthew 24:1-7

Jesus conquered death and the grave, just like He said!  

We celebrate His resurrection every Easter Sunday, but I will celebrate His Resurrection every day!

    But that's just me!

He lives!  He lives!

Christ Jesus lives today!

He walks with me and talks with me,

Along life's narrow way!

He lives!  He Lives!

Salvation to impart...

You ask me how I know He lives?

He lives within my heart!
