Resurrection Sunday!

Luke 24: 1-12

The Resurrection

1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7' The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' " 8 Then they remembered his words.

9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. 11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.

I love verses 5-8. They plainly state how Jesus's death and resurrection had been prophesied long before it happend. And how Jesus had told them what was going to happen to him.

Me and my family watched The Passion this past week as a reminder of what He went through for us. It was so hard to watch him being beaten, flogged, spit on, and nailed to the cross. It was my first time to watch it and it made me want to love and serve Him with a new fervor! I am so glad that we watched it!

I hope that everybody has a wonderful and glorious Easter!

With love,
