Matthew 28

¹Early on Sunday morning as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to see the tomb.

²Suddenly there was a great earthquake, because an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and rolled aside the stone and sat on it.

³His face shone like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow.

⁴The guards shook with fear when they saw him, and they fell into a dead faint.

⁵Then the angel spoke to the women. "Don't be afraid!" he said. "I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

⁶He isn't here! He has been raised from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying.

⁷And now, go quickly and tell his disciples he has been raised from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember, I have told you."

⁸The women ran quickly from the tomb. They were very frightened but also filled with great joy, and they rushed to find the disciples to give them the angel's message.

⁹And as they went, Jesus met them. "Greetings!" he said. And they ran to him, held his feet, and worshiped him.

As the priest last night at the Easter Vigil Mass said, if He hadn't, then none of the rest of it would have mattered - but He did.

[MinuteGal]

I know that my Redeemer lives
What comfort this sweet sentence gives
He lives, He lives, who once was dead
He lives, my ever living Head

He lives to bless me with His love
He lives to plead for me above
He lives my hungry soul to feed
He lives to help in time of need

He lives to silence all my fears
He lives to wipe away my tears
He lives to calm my troubled heart
He lives all blessing to impart

He lives, all glory to His Name
He lives, my Jesus, still the same
Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives
I know that my Redeemer lives!

A blessed Easter to all my freeper friends.

Happy and Blessed Easter to all Freepers!

[dep]

The Lord is risen indeed. I know that my Redeemer liveth. May we all remember these facts foremost; nothing matters more, or could.

[patriot_wes]

Halleluyah indeed - what a glorious reality that the Messaiah of Israel is raised.

Now if we could only get "the church" to quit mixing the event with pagan spring worship rituals. Like the worship of Ishtar & Ostara (Eastre) for impregnating mother earth and defiling the savior by involving ourselves in collecting colored fertility eggs and venerating rabbits. I guess it's lucky the Messaiah came out of the grave or He would be spinning in it to see what the church is doing in His name!

[Skooz]

Thanks for the ping and.........

Hallelujah!

[right way right]

The views of a man who seeks earthly power will mean nothing on the day of the Lord.

He is Risin!

[cyn]

Thank you for this special ping. May we celebrate the reality of Jesus' resurrection every day in the way we live.

[LowOiL]

Thank you Jesus !

PASCHAL Homily of St John Chrysostom

Is there anyone who is a devout lover of God?
Let them enjoy this beautiful bright festival!
Is there anyone who is a grateful servant?
Let them rejoice and enter into the joy of their Lord!



Are there any weary with fasting?
Let them now receive their wages!
If any have toiled from the first hour,
let them receive their due reward;
If any have come after the third hour,
let him with gratitude join in the Feast!
And he that arrived after the sixth hour,
let him not doubt; for he too shall sustain no loss.
And if any delayed until the ninth hour,
let him not hesitate; but let him come too.
And he who arrived only at the eleventh hour,
let him not be afraid by reason of his delay.



For the Lord is gracious and receives the last even as the first.
He gives rest to him that comes at the eleventh hour,
as well as to him that toiled from the first.
To this one He gives, and upon another He bestows.
He accepts the works as He greets the endeavor.
The deed He honors and the intention He commends.



Let us all enter into the joy of the Lord!
First and last alike receive your reward;
Rich and poor, rejoice together!
Sober and slothful, celebrate the day!



You that have kept the fast, and you that have not,
rejoice today for the Table is richly laden!
Feast royally on it, the calf is a fatted one.
Let no one go away hungry. Partake, all, of the cup of faith. Enjoy all the riches of His goodness!



Let no one grieve at his poverty,
for the universal kingdom has been revealed.
Let no one mourn that he has fallen again and again;
for forgiveness has risen from the grave.
Let no one fear death, for the Death of our Savior has set us free.
He has destroyed it by enduring it.



He destroyed Hades when He descended into it.
He put it into an uproar even as it tasted of His flesh.
Isaiah foretold this when he said,
"You, O Hell, have been troubled by encountering Him below."



Hell was in an uproar because it was done away with.
It was in an uproar because it is mocked.
It was in an uproar, for it is destroyed.
It is in an uproar, for it is annihilated.
It is in an uproar, for it is now made captive.
Hell took a body, and discovered God.
It took earth, and encountered Heaven.
It took what it saw, and was overcome by what it did not see.
O death, where is thy sting?
O Hades, where is thy victory?



Christ is Risen, and you, o death, are annihilated!
Christ is Risen, and the evil ones are cast down!
Christ is Risen, and the angels rejoice!
Christ is Risen, and life is liberated!
Christ is Risen, and the tomb is emptied of its dead;
for Christ having risen from the dead,
is become the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep.



To Him be Glory and Power forever and ever. Amen!

AMEN

Thanks for posting

[sirchtruth]

What is the point of your post? Is it that you just don't get it? For someone to fulfill all the prophecies about himself should be proof enough, but you have a 40 book narrative written by over 60 authors over thousands of years that coinside...if that didn't convince Jefferson, nothing would have in his willful ignorance...

Yeshua has risen, get use to it!

[rep-always]

I praise the Lord and His Mighty Name. Thank you Jesus for giving Your life that I might live. I serve a living God and His Son, Jesus Christ.
May the Holy Spirit of God keep us strong today and during these trying times.

Amen!

... You, O Christ, are the light that never ceases.
You were entombed like all mortals
and, with your living voice,
You woke all the just who were deep in sleep.
You removed from creation the ancient sadness,
and gathered the nations to worship you
and to announce your salvation in every place.

... as you saved us by your passion
and granted us life by your resurrection,
so now clothe our bodies with the power
of your Spirit....

...Make us worthy to proclaim your rising
from the dead with your holy angels;
to announce your resurrection
with your women disciples;
and to rejoice in your triumph
with your blessed apostles....

55 "Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?"
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

What is the point of your post?

I was responding to Post #10, including tag line. Jefferson was many things, but never a big fan of Christianity.

AMEN!

Happy Easter to all

That's what I was looking for...

[Finalapproach29er]

Pastor just told quip how Ara-mia-s (sp.-sorry)? ,(who collected the body and stored it in a special place) said he did it because he knew it was only going to be in that spot for a day or two!

He has risen!

[missyme]

He isn't here. He is risen from the dead!"

Luke 24:6 NLT

Today is Easter Sunday, a day of great joy as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. . How much we have to be thankful for! How much we have to look forward to!

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!
May you receive GOD's Blessings today as we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord!

[PigRigger]

"May God's blessings be upon you all on this most glorious of days..."

The day that changed the world, the day the chains of sin and death's bondage were broken forever.

Praise be to God - May we find peace in our hearts and strength to carry His Good News to all corners of the world.

VICTIMAE Paschali
laudes immolent Christiani.
Agnus redemit oves:
Christus innocens Patri
reconciliavit peccatores.
Mors et vita duello
conflixere mirando:
dux vitae mortuus, regnat vivus.
Dic nobis Maria,
Quid vidisti in via?
Sepulcrum Christi viventis,
et gloriam vidi resurgentis:
Angelicos testes,
sudarium et vestes.
Surrexit Christus spes mea:
praecedet suos in Galilaeam.
Scimus Christum surrexisse
a mortuis vere:
Tu nobis, victor Rex miserere.
Amen. Alleluia.

- Wipo of Burgundy

Christians! To the Paschal Victim
Offer your thankful praises!
A lamb the sheep redeemeth
Christ who only is sinless
Reconcileth sinners to the Father.
Death and Life have contended
In that combat stupendous;
The Prince of Life who died,
Reigns immortal.
Speak, Mary, declaring
What thou sawest, wayfaring.
The tomb of Christ who is living
The glory of Jesus's resurrection.
Bright angels attesting.
The shroud and napkin resting.
Yea, Christ my hope is arisen
To Galilee he will go before you.
Christ indeed from death is risen,
Our true life obtaining.
Have mercy, Victor King, ever reigning.

Amen! Alleluia!

It's Easter morning, and I just told my three year old that Jesus was trapped by a bad man, but he broke free and went to his Daddy's house. Jesus brought all his friends with him for a big party. His friends were trapped by the bad guy too. My son thought about that and said "he came really fast."
