He is Risen! Resurrection Sunday

                                                             

 

This Resurrection Sunday we celebrate the most glorious day for all humanity: Jesus rose from the dead, the firstborn of every creature.

"Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: " - Colossians 1:15 

He victoriously took the keys of hell and death and now is alive forevermore!

"I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." - Revelation 1:18

"Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage." - Hebrews 2:14-15

When the women went to the tomb, they heard the most exciting words they could imagine!

"In the end of the sabbath [Saturday], as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week [Sunday], came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre...And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

“And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you." - Matthew 28:1,5-7

By Christ’s gospel – His death, burial, and resurrection, we not only have abundant life on this earth, but we too have eternal life through His name Jesus and by His Spirit. (1Corinthians 15:1-4, Romans 6:1-4, John 10:10).

"But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit [Holy Ghost] that dwelleth in you." - Romans 8:11

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost [Spirit].

“For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." - Acts 2:38-39
