...Happy Easter Everyone....






from
1 Corinthians 15
" Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied. But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. For since by one man came death, by one man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ’s at His coming, then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.
The last enemy that will be abolished is death. "

John 20: 24-31
Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. "

I Love that song and remember seeing/hearing Mr. Holmes when he toured through Memphis a number of years ago. Given today's environment, we could probably listen to "WATCHMAN's CRY".

I have always been a rock fan and caught many acts there at the now closed and decaying Mid-South Coliseum but his performance is one of my favorite. That show moved many folks to the front and I thought for a while that I was at a Billy Graham Crusade.

Thanks for posting, REV, and although I'm not crazy about Sunrise Service (BEFORE SUNRISE) or the men fixing breakfast, Easter is one of the FREE World's best Holidays when we look to the One who paved the way to LIBERTY from sin and death. Happy Easter to you as well REV (and everyone on this Glorious time of year we put aside in honor of a true KING of kings!!!

Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. ACTS 1:11 (KJV)

Just happened upon the below video and although I am unfamiliar with this guy, I can't say that I disagree with most of what he said.

Happy Easter, Rev, to all!

Maybe not an Easter song, but I think of this mans music when I want to be inspired. Here's a good song, called "forgiveness" by Matthew West. I think the big Man would have liked it and the message it conveys.

It’s the hardest thing to give away
And the last thing on your mind today
It always goes to those who don’t deserve

It’s the opposite of how you feel
When the pain they caused is just too real
It takes everything you have just to say the word…

Forgiveness
Forgiveness

It flies in the face of all your pride
It moves away the mad inside
It’s always anger’s own worst enemy
Even when the jury and the judge
Say you gotta right to hold a grudge
It’s the whisper in your ear saying ‘Set It Free’

Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Show me how to love the unlovable
Show me how to reach the unreachable
Help me now to do the impossible

Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Help me now to do the impossible
Forgiveness

It’ll clear the bitterness away
It can even set a prisoner free
There is no end to what it’s power can do
So, let it go and be amazed
By what you see through eyes of grace
The prisoner that it really frees is you

Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Show me how to love the unlovable
Show me how to reach the unreachable
Help me now to do the impossible
Forgiveness

I want to finally set it free
So show me how to see what Your mercy sees
Help me now to give what You gave to me
Forgiveness, Forgiveness

I'm unsure if the Easter Bunny visited or not. I'm hoping he left behind some bacon and eggs. Time to go nag the woman!

I hope you're all with family and celebrating the miracle that took place on this day! Give your kids candy, but take 10 minutes to explain what today really means. :)
