HE IS RISEN!
Today is one of my favorite days of the year - Resurrection Sunday! The reason I love this day is because I remember the time in my life when I was alone and on my own - and rotting in my own sin. I was, as they say, in the pit. But then I learned that I could get out, have a new beginning and know the most wonderful, perfect, kind, thoughtful, caring being in the Universe: God! Jesus Christ made a way for me when there seemed to be no way. He paid my debt and took my place that I might be right with God. I am so grateful because I was lost and blind - DEAD. But now I am found and can see and am ALIVE - because HE LIVES!
My favorite Easter song of all time is "They Could Not," by Ron Harris and Claire Cloninger & sung by Sandi Patti. This song tells the triumphant story of Jesus' victory over sin and death!
"They looked at Him and saw a single man
A carpenter with healing in His hands
They saw Him calm a sea and heal a dying man
They saw but could they really understand
They could not, They could not
Though they tried, they could not
He was just a simple carpenter but with healing in His hands
But could they really understand, they could not
They listened to the teaching that they heard
They wondered at the mystery of His word
They wondered what He meant, about a Father's plan
They heard but could they really understand
They could not, They could not
Though they tried, they could not
They listened to the teaching about a Father's plan
But could they really understand, they could not
So finally upon a rugged cross
They killed the man who would not suffer loss
And when at last they took what willingly He gave
He died, but could they keep Him in the grave
They could not, They could not
Praise God, they could not
And when at last they took from Him what willingly He gave
Could they keep Him in the grave, could they keep Him in the grave,
Could they keep Him in the grave...
They could not, They could not
Praise God, they could not
And when at last they took from Him what willingly He gave
Could they keep Him in the grave, could they keep Him in the grave,
Could they keep Him in the grave, They could not!!!!"
