He is Risen!
Mary Magdalene came to Jesus' tomb early in the morning and found the stone rolled away.
He is Risen!
It was still dark, but the true Light, the risen Light, the Light that enlightens the whole world, could not be held by death.
He is Risen!
Mary did not understand. She ran to Peter and John and told them that Jesus was gone. “They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don't know where they put Him.” She did not understand.
He is Risen!
Peter and John ran as fast as they could. They wanted to know what was going on. How could their Lord be gone?
He is Risen!
John got to the tomb first and looked inside. He saw something that amazed him. The burial cloths were lying there on the floor. The cloth that had covered Jesus' head was rolled up in a separate place. He did not understand. Why would anyone take a body but leave the burial cloths?
He is Risen!
Peter entered the tomb and examined it. He saw exactly what John had seen.
He is Risen!
John entered the tomb. He saw and believed.
He is Risen!
Peter and John didn't understand yet. They couldn't completely grasp the significance of what they were seeing. The picture was still fuzzy. The Scriptures still didn't make sense.
He is Risen!
We rejoice this Easter day. Jesus has risen from the dead. He has conquered death and is alive that He might bring us to everlasting life with Him in Heaven.
He is Risen! Alleluia!
