+ Christ is risen! Christ is risen, indeed! Alleluia!
+ Other tidbits
- The Cubs did not lose today! The game was postponed, but that is beside the point! They did not lose! Cards get another late inning victory and a sweep in Pittsburgh for a 5-1 road trip.
+ Bible verse reflection: Matthew 28:5-6
But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."
Imagine being in the ladies' shoes on that early Sunday morning. You simply plan to go to the tomb to place spices on Jesus' body. As you approach the tomb, you see some things that you definitely did not expect. The stone was rolled over and the guards were scared out of their minds. You see angels and then you hear a message that Jesus has risen! You probably wouldn't know what to think, let alone what to say. The women were afraid, yet they were filled with joy. They (and we) have great reason to have great joy! Christ rose again so that we have the victory of eternal life and salvation. We can live our lives with the joy that we are forgiven and have the victory of everlasting life!
