Happy Easter 2011 – “He Is Risen”
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, April 24, 2011, 8:46 AM
Matthew 28: 1-7
1 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4 The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”
Wishing you and yours a joyous and blessed Easter.

Happy Resurrection Sunday Jim and everyone!
“I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me, though he may die, yet shall he live.” — Jesus, John 11:25
Thank you Jesus for the freedom that comes from a life in You. I accepted Jesus as my Savior on December 12, 1982 at the age of 8, on my own, a freewill choice that I made. That day, I felt what being washed in the blood is like, and although I am still imperfect and sin daily, I know that forgiveness through an incredible, perfect, blood sacrifice is guaranteed. Repentance is something I choose to do. We are all walking a path to Heaven or Hell, as this life was never meant to end at our last breath. We were created at the pleasure of God the Father, and He does not want us to live apart from Him, but He lets us choose that. I choose Jesus, and I always will.
This concept is often overlooked and dismissed because it is so simple and it is a truly free gift; no strings attached. There is nothing that we do to deserve this and there is nothing that we can do to obtain eternal life. It is in belief in Jesus Christ alone, in his death, burial, and resurrection. The change you feel in yourself is confirmation.
I love Jesus, and I am not ashamed. If I suffer persecution at the hands of evil and wicked men, so be it. I will bow only to my Savior.

Thank you sister for your testimony.
He is risen and sits at the right hand of the Father, and ever intercedes for us.

I’m so thankful I live in a country where we can worship with the lights on and doors unlocked and not have to worry about somebody coming and hauling us off to prison. I pray today for our persecuted brothers and sisters throughout the world that aren’t afforded that opportunity.

Happy Resurrection Sunday! He is risen . . . He is risen indeed . . . and He is returning for those who believe on His name. Keep watch . . . one day the trumpet will sound and all believers will hear Him calling their name. It will be time to go “home” . . . to our real “home”! Don’t miss it.
