HE IS RISEN!!!!!!

Praise the Lord!!

As this is the greatest day in the history of the world! Because Christ arose from the grave and defeated death, we who are sinners can now freely approach the Throne of Grace in repentance and faith and receive eternal life. There has never been, nor will there ever be again, so precious a gift.

Below I've taken a few different passages of Scripture and tried to encapsulate the true Easter story for everyone. Not only has He risen from the dead but He will one day soon return to call all of His elect home. Enjoy the verses below. Then turn up your speakers as I've embedded a couple of video's from the Accapella Christian group, GLAD. If you love Accapella singing, these guys are the best and these two songs are a real blessing. They follow right along with the Easter theme. Enjoy

"Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from Heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, as He said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead, and behold, He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see Him. See, I have told you." Matthew 28:1-7

"Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw Him they worshiped Him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, 'All authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 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, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
Matthew 28:16-20

"And when He had said these things, as they were looking on, He was lifted up, and a cloud took Him out of their sight. And while they were gazing into Heaven as He went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, 'Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into Heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into Heaven, will come in the same way as you saw Him go into Heaven"
Acts 1:9-11

Praise God!! Now scroll down, turn up your speakers and enjoy some great Easter music from GLAD.

God bless and have a great Easter.
