Easter Blessings...

"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. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. while they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 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? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee, : The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.'" ---Luke 24: 1-7

"Lord Jesus, risen and everliving Savior, with Thy people of all ages and races I adore Thee as my Lord and my God...accept my hallelujahs as I rejoice with believers, saints, and angels because has come forth triumphantly from the grave to live forevermore."
