Today is Good Friday!
 
Jesus' life was wonderful, but it was not the end of the story! Jesus' death was tragic, but it was not the end of the story! Jesus' resurrection was phenominal, but it was not the end of the story.............it was just the beginning!
 
And if we accept His life, His death, and believe in His resurrection, it is just the beginning for each of us, too!
 
Happy Easter.......and happy tomorrow.......and for all the tomorrows.....that last forever!!
 
 

Luke 24:1 – 7 – “But very early on Sunday morning, they took the ointments to the tomb—and found that the huge stone covering the entrance had been rolled aside. So they went in—but the Lord Jesus’ body was gone.

            “They stood there puzzled, trying to think what could have happened to it. Suddenly two men appeared before them, clothed in shining robes so bright their eyes were dazzled. The women were terrified and bowed low before them. Then the men asked, ‘Why are you looking in a tomb for someone who is alive? He isn’t here! He has come back to life again! Don’t you remember what He told you back in Galilee—that the Messiah must be betrayed into the power of evil men and be crucified and that He would rise again on the third day?’  Then they all remembered!!

 

Bible Commentary on verses 1 – 7:  “The two angels asked the women why they were looking in a tomb for someone who was alive. Often we run into people who are looking for God among the dead. They study the Bible as a mere historical document and go to church as if to a memorial service. But Jesus is not among the dead—he lives! He reigns in the hearts of Christians, and He is the head of His Church. Do you look for Jesus among the living? Do you expect Him to be active in the world and in the Church? Look for signs of His Power—they are all around you!!
