- MATTHEW 28...
- 1/ After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
- 2/ And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, approached, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it.
- 3/ His appearance was like lightning and his clothing was white as snow.
- 4/ The guards were shaken with fear of him and became like dead men.
- 5/ Then the angel said to the women in reply, "Do not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified.
- 6/ He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
- 7/ Then go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has been raised from the dead, and he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him.' Behold, I have told you."
- 8/ Then they went away quickly from the tomb, fearful yet overjoyed, and ran to announce this to his disciples.
- 9/ And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them. They approached, embraced his feet, and did him homage.
- 10/ Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me."
- 11/ While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had happened.
- 12/ They assembled with the elders and took counsel; then they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,
- 13/ telling them, "You are to say, 'His disciples came by night and stole him while we were asleep.'
- 14/ And if this gets to the ears of the governor, we will satisfy (him) and keep you out of trouble."
- 15/ The soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has circulated among the Jews to the present (day).
- 16/ The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them.
- 17/ When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted.
- 18/ Then Jesus approached and said to them, "All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
- 19/ Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit,
- 20/ teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."
HALLELUJAH!!! HE IS RISEN!!! |
HE laid down his life and was crucified! HE descended into hell, and, took the keys of death and hell. HE resurrected from the dead. CHRIST JESUS paid for the sins of the world and purchased the pardon of men. HE restored man's fellowship with *GOD*, opening the way to eternal life!!!
Our LORD, CHRIST JESUS, IMMANUEL, WAS extraordinary, beyond description! HE came to life AS a human, that HE might experience first hand, the strife, struggle, pain, and, weakness we face daily, however, HIS primary role was to consecrate the NEW COVENANT, the COVENANT of PEACE, so titled as it brings mankind back into the GRACE of *GOD*, through the blood of CHRIST, and, through the FAITH of the believer(s)! HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIGHT, no one can enter through the gates of Heaven without becoming one with HIM! This SACRED act of LOVE, and, SACRIFICE, was conceived long before the foundations of existence were established, and, in fact, worked as one, with the FIRST COVENANT of *GOD*, in order for sin to overtake the world, that *GOD* be GLORIFIED through the blood of CHRIST, by reconciling HIMSELF with mankind, THROUGH CHRIST JESUS! HOW AWESOME is our *GOD*???
HAPPY EASTER! HAPPY REBIRTH! HAPPY RENEWAL! HAPPY DAYS 'IN' the name of *GOD*, our FATHER, SON, and, HOLY SPIRIT!!! PRAISE HIS NAME EVERMORE, loudly rejoicing HIS PERFECTION, HIS GRACE, HIS MERCY, HIS LOVE!!!
