Luke 24:1-12

“Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. And they remembered his words, And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles. And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.”
Praise ye the Lord!!! Praise God we serve a risen Lord and Savior. Not a babe in a manager nor a man still hanging on a cross as the religious world would have us to believe. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God rose from the dead and was seen by many witnesses before He assended into heaven with God our Father. For if He was still a babe or still on the cross we have no Lord and Savior. To worship or observe Him as these is blasphamy against Him and His Gospel. Without a risen savior we have nothing spiritually. We would remain dead in our sins and on our way to hell. But our Heavenly Father showed grace and mercy on His elect people and gave His Son to die for our sins. But it did not stop with His death. If He had not rose from the dead we would not have a Lord and Savior. We would not have that great Comforter He promised us. We would not have a Heavenly Father that He promised. Without a risen Lord and Savior we have nothing!!!
Praise ye the Lord!!!
