" He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."
Matt 28:6
It's a Simple Story...yet one filled with the wonder of life...and the wonder of the triumph of Life OVER Death.
It's a Simple Story...of how a Child was born into this world over 2,000 years ago. Of how that Child taught us...and how the powers of the world were made afraid by those teachings. Because the teachings taught us that each of us was a Child of God...that each of us had worth. The teachings gave us a better way to live...and to treat each other.
It's a Simple Story...of how God, thru that Child, gave us a glimpse into the truth of our existence now....and the truth of our Eternal lives.
...and yet, that Simple Story made some so afraid (and perhaps hateful) that they put the Child, now a Man, to death. They tortured Him...and then drove nails thru His flesh...binding Him to a Cross. They denied Him food...and water...making His death even more painful.
But, because of who He was and to fulfill God's promise, after 3 days he conquered death...and lived once more.
True...we have argued over and over about the meaning of His death...and which part had to play out...and which part didn't mean much...but the simple fact remains.And true...many will try and argue that it was all a lie...that nothing really happened.
But it's a fact....He was put to death.....and He conquered death...and lives again.
It's a Simple Story.....He Lives.

May you all have a Blessed Easter.

I'll tell you this...no liberal will ever make me forget Jesus. I gave my life to Him in 1983, and never have regretted it, never will. If you haven't received Jesus as your savior, please do so today. It's NOT too late...
Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurection of the dead?
But if there be no resurection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
Yea,and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins....
..But now is Christ risen from the dead and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
1 Cor 15:12-20

I have always wondered where we get the three days? If Christ was crucified on Good Friday and resurrected on Easter Sunday I count that as two days. Fri to Sat is day one and Sat to Sun is day two. How do we get three days out of that?

The similaries to Terri Schiavo's case isn't lost on this Easter holiday.
He is Risen, Alleluia! A blessed Easter to you. (The libs/ secular humanists don't know the spiritual joy they are missing!)
Thanks for the ping, RR.
This is the Day the Lord has made
Let us be Glad and Rejoice!
Me too, Malcolm ... October 24th, 1985. The best day ever of my entire life.
