He Is Risen!

Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. The guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men. The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you.” And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples.
Matthew 28:1-8 (NASB)

Happy Resurrection day brethren! It is a beautiful morning here in Scotland; the sun is shining and the birds are singing…Creation sings of our Lord’s rising today – hallelujah! This Easter marks my 40th year following our Lord and Saviour – the story of the empty tomb and His rising still excites my heart, and humbles me a poor sinner in need of redemption. I still need my Redeemer today as I did all those years ago; I am insufficient on my own – in and through Him I live and worship. Glory to our Father, Almighty God, and to His Son Jesus Christ in whom we are saved, may the Holy Spirit continue to guide us as we follow Him each day.

    Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. (Matthew 5:3–12)

    Blessed are the poor in spirit -(like you): for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
