HE IS RISEN!!!

The pain, the sacrifice and the sorrow of Friday is over, the silence and the waiting of Saturday has past. Now it is Sunday. It is Resurrection Day, Easter! The tomb is empty, for He is risen! Satan and death have once and for all be defeated, and the penalty for sin has been paid.

He is risen! Hosanna and hallelujah! It is time to rejoice, to celebrate the victory of our Lord. The outcome was never in doubt, God knew that He would win, but Jesus still had to go through the process. He did His part, now it is up to us to do our part.

Our part is to accept His gift, to cling to Him, to believe in Him, to give our lives to Him. We need to Him come into our lives. He is a loving God. He doesn't want anyone to go to Hell. This weekend shows that, shows the lengths to which God goes for each of us. Yet, we choose whether or not to accept His gift, or to send ourselves to Hell.

Be one of the smart ones. Chose to accept His gift, and have your name written in His book. It is the truth, so believe it! You will not regret it. Hosanna, He is risen! God is among us. God is here, not in a tomb, but here in the world, very much alive! GOD IS RISEN!!!
