Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.” Matthew 28:1-10
Joy to the world, He is risen. Alleluia!
ReplyDeleteOh Persis this brought back such wonderful memories for me. When I was little we weren't allowed to watch tv or listen to the radio, but my Dad did have Keith Green on reel-to-reel and this was my very favorite song - any time of the year! It was always such a special treat to get to listen to this.
ReplyDeleteO what a glorious day. Our Lord is risen! Alleluia!
ReplyDeleteLove you lots, sister!
Have a blessed Resurrection Day, sisters!
ReplyDeleteJessica, reel-to-reel? That's vintage! I used to listen to Keith Green all the time many moons ago. His lyrics are a lot more substantial than a lot of CCM today.
I have the complete ministry years on CD, no reel-to-reel anymore :-) and you are right, his lyrics are much more substantial, and oftentimes convicting too.
