Easter

We will be working at Church all weekend, and ask that you would keep our efforts in your prayers. We pray that we will be beacons shining in a lost world, bringing new souls to Christ. My prayer for you is that God has something special in store for you this weekend. Have a blessed Easter, He has risen, He is alive!!

I would add one thing to your last words "He is risen, He is alive" AND therefore we truly live. Because without Him we are just existing on earth.

God sent His son, they called Him JesusHe came to love, heal, and forgive.He lived and died to buy my pardon,An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.Because He lives, All fear is gone.Because I know He holds the future,And life is worth the living just because He lives.Because He LivesThe day is nigh, brothers and sisters in Christ. Listen for that trumpet. The King is coming!The marketplace is empty, No more traffic in the streets, All the builders' tools are silent, No more time to harvest wheat; Busy housewives cease their labors, In the courtroom no debate, Work on earth is all suspended As the King comes thro' the gate. O the King is coming, The King is coming! I just heard the trumpets sounding, And now His face I see; O the King is coming, The King is coming! Praise God, He's coming for me!The King Is Coming!Let the world do its worst. I read the end of the Book. WE WIN!

Reading further into Luke 24 is what happened the afternoon of Resurection Sunday, the walk to Emmaus. This too is meaningful to me. Do you ever walk with Jesus and not realize that you walking with Jesus?
Luke 24:13 Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem,
Luke 24:14 and talking with each other about all these things that had happened.
Luke 24:15 While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them,
Luke 24:16 but their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
Luke 24:17 And he said to them, What are you discussing with each other while you walk along? They stood still, looking sad.
Luke 24:18 Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days?
Luke 24:19 He asked them, What things? They replied, The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
Luke 24:20 and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him.
Luke 24:21 But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things took place.
Luke 24:22 Moreover, some women of our group astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,
Luke 24:23 and when they did not find his body there, they came back and told us that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive.
Luke 24:24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but they did not see him.
Luke 24:25 Then he said to them, Oh, how foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared!
Luke 24:26 Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into his glory?
Luke 24:27 Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures.
Luke 24:28 As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on.
Luke 24:29 But they urged him strongly, saying, Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over. So he went in to stay with them.
Luke 24:30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.
Luke 24:31 Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight.
Luke 24:32 They said to each other, Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?
