With Easter tomorrow...Resurrection Sunday...I thought these songs was very fitting. (I love both and couldn't choose ) because Jesus Christ made the ultimate sacrifice on Calvary over 2000 years ago...He gave His life so we could have eternal life with Him in Heaven one day. As much as I love living on this earth with my family, watching my children grow up, get married and give us grandchildren and I would love to see the other two children do the same...I long to see Jesus, move into my mansion, be reunited with my precious daddy and other family member who have gone on before me, walk the streets of gold and bow down before the King of Kings...praising Him, worshipping Him and loving Him.
All of this is possible only through Jesus Christ because He was crucified, buried, went to Hell and retrieved the keys of death, hell and the grave, arise victoriously on the 3rd day and ascended to the right hand of the Father, where He still sits today. Hallelujah!
Matthew 27:63
"Sir," they said, "we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, 'After three days I will rise again.' (KJV)
Matthew 27:50-54
And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.
(51)Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,
(52)and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
(53)and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
(54)So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God!"
John 19:30
When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Luke 24:6-7
He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, (7)saying, "The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."'
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Rejoice today, my friends...Jesus is alive and well...sitting at the right hand of the Father, ruling and reigning over the earth, watching over and protecting His children. Thank you, Jesus! That should make you want to shout this morning!

ReplyDeleteEaster blessings to you and yours:)
Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with you. All weekend long has been a reflection of a time not so long ago when our Savior was put to death. I often wonder what the disciples did the day following His death. I would guess that they spent the day together, sharing a meal, sharing moments of Jesus' life when he was alive and crying a lot.
I too look forward when I will be with family forever in our heavenly mansion and the tears we shed here will remain on this earth as well as the death and sickness that bound so many souls to this place.
I look forward to the many pleasure that Jesus has been working on since He left and anxiously await His return!
Happy Easter and God Bless You and Your Family ~ Love and Hugs ~ Kat

Both songs are so powerful...I love them both. My kids did a sticks performance to Arise my love. It was beautiful. Even my 2 year old at the time learned the routine and did it in front of the whole church.
