REJOICE in the RESURRECTION!

READING...........Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.  And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?”

Feel the great SADNESS.....SORROW.....GRIEF....

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large.  And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were ALARMED!  But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.”

ECSTATIC!!!!!  ELATION!!!!   HOPE!!!!  HYSTERICAL CHEST BURSTING JOY!!!!!!!!!
                                             
                                      
HE’S ALIVE!  JESUS IS ALIVE!


Starting out on our emotional roller coaster, we were at the top, waving palm branches and rejoicing as our new King, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey!  We plummeted to the bottom as He was beaten crucified and buried and now we are back at the top again.             

My challenge (and it is a challenge for me too!) is that we all make time every day, not just this Easter weekend, to worship at the foot of the cross and at the empty tomb as we                                              REJOICE IN HIS RESURRECTION!

yes yes yes! When I was a brand new Christian all I could think about was Jesus' cruxificion and resurrection.... Lord give me grace to have this on my heart and mind continually! Even as Christ was raised from the dead, so can I walk in newness of life. What joy that YOU rose from the dead and still 2000 years later You are alive... and You are Lord! thanks for posting Judy. I *am* excited about His resurrection! :)

I remember well the excitement I felt when I was a new Christian also. How everything was so fresh and new and how I finally felt like I belonged somewhere. Thank you Lord Jesus for dying in my place, but also for rising from the dead, so that death no longer has a hold on me.

What a wonderful meditation! Rejoice! Makes me want to sing our Easter songs for choir. I am so looking forward to rejoicing on Sunday. I can just feel the excitement of the women as they ran from the tomb. Maybe they went to familiar places to look for him? They must have held out for hope and joy. I know I will be filled with it on Sunday. Thank you Judy for these excellent meditations.
