IT’S SUNDAY MORNING!
“Low in the grave He lay, Jesus my Savior,
waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord!
Vainly they watch his bed, Jesus my Savior,
vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord!
Death cannot keep its prey, Jesus my Savior;
He tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord!”
Up from the grave He arose;
with a mighty triumph o’er his foes;
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
and He lives forever, with His saints to reign.
He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!”
I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me—that Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, as the Scriptures said.
1 Cor. 15:3-4
Rejoice for this validates everything that Jesus did and said! It also grants us a confirmed hope! We who are alive in Christ will one day be reunited with those who are asleep in Christ!
The sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over us, but all who receive God’s wonderful, gracious gift of righteousness will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:17
Make Easter a family time of worshiping together and thinking about the risen Lord:
- Start the morning with Resurrection Rolls This link tells you how to use rolls to teach the real reason we celebrate Easter!
- Watch the sunrise and think on that first Easter sunrise when The Son rose!!
- Read the Easter story together from Matthew 27-28, Mark 15 – 16, or Luke 23-24.
- Sing praises together. Hooray is one song that children really love about the empty tomb. It is from Every Song a Bible Story from Maranatha Music.
Happy Easter from my family to yours!
