Today reminded me that it's indeed Resurrection Sunday! Have you ever thought what it would be like to live Good Friday or the Saturday over and over again? I don't think I could and I don't want to. Reasons are very simple. I don't want to go through the sadness that Jesus has died on the cross. I also don't want to go through if I were His disciple during that time that my Lord and Master is no more.
I want to live for Resurrection Sunday or what others would call Easter Sunday!!! As in Matthew 28:6 it is written "He is not here; He has Risen" Yes the Lord is risen indeed!!!! I believe that He died for me and rose again so that I would believe. Though I do not see yet I believe. Amen!
I share with you some pictures that I took while I was at the Garden Tomb in Israel. This is the picture that shows the entrance of the tomb. The picture beside it is believed to be where Jesus body was laid in this tomb.
This is the sign that was at the door. Indeed it's a great reminder to me that He is Risen.... Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for me and for raising again 3 days later. Amen!!!
I'm also reminded of this song today.
Christ the Lord is Risen Today
Christ, the Lord, is risen today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply, Alleluia!
Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!
Lo! the Sun’s eclipse is over, Alleluia!
Lo! He sets in blood no more, Alleluia!
Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Alleluia!
Christ hath burst the gates of hell, Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids His rise, Alleluia!
Christ hath opened paradise, Alleluia!
Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Once He died our souls to save, Alleluia!
Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!
Soar we now where Christ hath led, Alleluia!
Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise, Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!
Hail, the Lord of earth and Heaven, Alleluia!
Praise to Thee by both be given, Alleluia!
Thee we greet triumphant now, Alleluia!
Hail, the resurrection, thou, Alleluia!
King of glory, Soul of bliss, Alleluia!
Everlasting life is this, Alleluia!
Thee to know, Thy power to prove, Alleluia!
Thus to sing and thus to love, Alleluia!
Hymns of praise then let us sing, Alleluia!
Unto Christ, our heavenly King, Alleluia!
Who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia!
Sinners to redeem and save. Alleluia!
But the pains that He endured, Alleluia!
Our salvation have procured, Alleluia!
Now above the sky He’s King, Alleluia!
Where the angels ever sing. Alleluia!
Jesus Christ is risen today, Alleluia!
Our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
Who did once upon the cross, Alleluia!
Suffer to redeem our loss. Alleluia!
