He is risen! I'm sure that's the phrase we're all hearing today but do we ever really think about it. The gravity of that statement really hit me late last night. He is RISEN. Christ defied the very thing that makes us mortal... death. Not only physical death, but he conquered spiritual death on that third day. How amazing is that? That phrase should give us goosebumps. Our Savior overcame sin and death, how incredible is that? He did it so that we can overcome those things as well, through Him.
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 seek 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. Luke 24:1-8
This story altered the very course of human history. When Christ left the grave, our destiny was changed from death to life through Him. This is reason for us to celebrate, not just today, but every day. Happy Easter. HE IS RISEN!
