Biblical reference
Matthew 28
Jesus Has Risen
After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”
So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”
The Guards’ Report
While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.
The Great Commission
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

What a wonderful post here. I am happy to be able to learn from you and tap from your knowledge. You see, around here we can’t go out today to church so everyone is staying at home to celebrate the holidays. It’s very sad but we hope and pray everything gets better. I am making sure that I get all the preachings and readings I can get on easter today. Thanks
Happy Easter. Thank you

Easter is a period of blessing and a time to get up close more to our Lord and saviour, Jesus Christ. This post has shared some quite meaningful insights concerning the easter celebration. This period is the reawakening of the body of christ and as Christians, it should be a time to demonstrate our faith and renewness in Christ especially during this period of covid19. Thanks
All is sick: our souls in the first place, sickening all around us…
For all of us an invitation to repent.
We have deadly sinned against creation and Creator
Just like disciples, Tom and Peter
we have betrayed, sold and killed the Lord of Heaven
and He is risen…
This is a good reminder for all of those people that are believers, to keep their faith set up at a much higher place than where it is right now. In this dark and difficult times we sometimes lose ourselves in the process of destruction that we’re creating in our minds while we’re also losing our faith in what the aftermaths may bring us.
We take nothing with us… nothing
Only our good deads
worry not.
Wow! Great write up you have got on our risen king JesusHallelujah! Death could not hold in back! We have every scriptural prove that our Lord is risen, the testimony of Mary Magdalene, the testimony of the guard and His appearance to the disciples prove to us that He is alive forever more! Thanks, you are touching lives!
amen!
And the testimony of so many christians dying because of their faith
Like the more than sixty priest in Italy who died, serving their parish unprotected
And the christian doctors and nurses who died not leaving their patients alone, unprotected also
they are martyrs too.. so much hate against them because of the evil doing of a few
Yes… He enters our suffering and fills it with His Presence
Be not afraid

I will celebrate Easter at home this year because of the virus. But it doesn’t lessen my love for Jesus and our Heavenly Father. In fact, it only makes my beliefs stronger. I believe that he has risen and I believe in Jesus and his teachings forever and ever. Amen. Peace be with you.Warmest regards,Courtney-
Peace be with you
The peace of our risen Savior!
