He Is RISEN!!!!

"On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' " Then they remembered his words.

When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the leven and to all the others. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened." Luke 24:1-12

How precious that women were the ones to first hear the news and share it with others!!! As I am up before sunrise this morning...I await the moment to tell my girls HE IS RISEN!!! Women were allowed to hear these precious words first and had the honor of telling the disciples. Ladies may we seek to lovingly share of our risen Lord not just today but every day!!!

Also, notice that it was when they "remembered His Words" that they believed and went to tell others!!! Praise Him!!! Ladies, we must be IN His Word and have them written on our hearts in order to remember them! Begin today with time reading and savoring His Word!! They remembered His Words...ah that is the satisfaction of our souls sweet friends. It comforts us in our sorrow, guides us when we are confused and perplexed. It fills us to the FULL...and then allows our cup to overflow.

There us so much more I could share about this passage...like never look for the living among the things of the dead! Jesus came to give us LIFE to the FULL...let's not look for life among acceptance from others, being supermom, money, cute clothes, fabulous houses...those will never lead us to LIFE! Look to The living Lord!!! Oh...this a amazing day to celebrate that we no longer look to the dead sacrifices for life and forgiveness...no...we look to the LIVING Jesus Christ!

And as the girls rise this morning, they will find LIFE in the pots! Beautiful white flowers have replaced the buried seeds. LIFE has burst forth! Our cross is no longer there on our pantry, but replaced with the GOOD NEWS!!! We are celebrating BIG TIMe today in our home:) Tell everyone you see today that HE IS RISEN!
