Resurrection Morning
Mark 16 Christian Standard Bible
1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they could go and anoint him.
2 Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they went to the tomb at sunrise.
3 They were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance to the tomb for us?”
4 Looking up, they noticed that the stone—which was very large—had been rolled away.
5 When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side; they were alarmed.
6 “Don’t be alarmed,” he told them. “You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they put him.
7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see him there just as he told you.’”
8 They went out and ran from the tomb, because trembling and astonishment overwhelmed them. And they said nothing to anyone, since they were afraid.
The first verse of Rattle says it like this:
“Saturday was silent, surely it was through.
But since when has impossible ever stopped You?
Friday’s disappointment is Sunday’s empty tomb.
Since when has impossible ever stopped You?”
Jesus, the Son of God, had just gone through the darkest time of his life here on earth. He had accomplished the impossible from humanity’s viewpoint.
Man, who was totally lost with no hope of eternal security, was given the gift of eternal life in a moment.
Jesus told us to go into all the world and preach the good news of Jesus Christ.
Jesus didn’t cheat death; Jesus destroyed it. The chain of death did not hold him because it had no power over him. And if we believe in Jesus, we, too, will destroy the chains of death.
Jesus did this for us!
Romans 8:10-12
Christian Standard Bible
“Now if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then he who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through his Spirit who lives in you.”
Is Jesus in you? The Bible says, “Now if Christ be in you, the body is dead to sin.” A change of nature has happened.
When Jesus comes inside your heart, he comes just as you are. You don’t have to get it right. You come, and he will make you right, by first forgiving your sin, then coming to live in your heart by his Holy Spirit.
My prayer today is this Easter morning is that today is Resurrection Sunday for you. I want you to let heaven come into your soul today. Heaven’s door is open today to all who will come to him.
Water Is Wild Lyrics
Heaven’s tearing open, tearing open wide
I feel it down on the inside
I feel it down on the inside
The Holy Spirit’s moving, moving within
I feel it down on the inside
I feel it down on the inside
And as I lift my hands up,
I can feel heaven come down
I can feel the presence of God all around
And as I worship and praise Him,
my soul begins to soar
I feel heaven on the inside forevermore
Heaven’s tearing open, tearing open wide
I feel it down on the inside
I feel it down on the inside
The love of God is pouring out, pouring out on me
I feel it down on the inside
I feel it down on the inside
And as I close my eyes,
I can see Jesus’ face
I can hear Him call my name
with His amazing grace
And as I surrender all to Him,
my heart begins to glow
I feel heaven on the inside, and it shows
Heaven’s tearing open, tearing open wide
I feel it down on the inside
I feel it down on the inside
So let the heavens open, and let the Spirit move
Let our hearts be filled with love, joy, and truth
And as we sing and worship Him, let our souls ignite
May we feel heaven on the inside, and shine the light.
“It’s Resurrection Morning”
Today is a miraculous day.
There are sons and daughters rising up who had been passed by so many times, but God is intervening today in your situation.
I know you felt hopelessness. It looked like it was over, but Jesus is breaking you out of that spiritual grave that has held you prisoner.
I like the words in this song called “Child of Love”; it’s speaking of the love of Jesus.
Child of Love
“Nothing can change the way you love me,
Nothing can change the way I belong to you,
Yes, I do.
Nothing can separate,
Nothing can change the way you love me,
Nothing can change the way I belong to You,
Yes, I do.
Nothing can separate.
It’s Resurrection Morning!
Will you choose Jesus today?
It’s Resurrection Morning.”
