Happy Resurrection Sunday!!

What an experience it would be to have been there all those years ago. Jesus, the One who was crucified for our sins has risen from death! He is ALIVE! What a joyful, amazing day! I can just imagine being there on that glorious first Easter morning. He loved us enough to pay the penalty for our sins, then live again so we could live in eternity with Him... FOREVER!

"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come; Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:38-39, KJV
Happy Easter Sunday, ya'll!! I hope you have a blessed celebration of our Savior's resurrection.


I'd like to share this amazing song with ya'll. Don't let today's version of Easter cloud the glory of Jesus' victory over death!!

In Christ alone my hope is found;
He is my light, my strength, my song.
This Cornerstone, this solid ground;
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace;
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All;
Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone, who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe;
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save.
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied;
For every sin on Him was laid.
Here in the death of Christ I live!

There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain.
Then bursting forth in glorious Day,
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory,
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me;
For I am His and He is mine,
Bought with the precious blood of Christ!

No guilt in life, no fear in death;
This is the power of Christ in me.
From life’s first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man;
Can ever pluck me from His hand.
‘til He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand!
"In Christ Alone," by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend
