HAPPY EASTER!

HALLELUIA! The Lord is Risen. Heaven has been open to us. Sin is destroyed! Alleluia! Satan’s power taken away from him. He will not be victorious in turning us away from our God and Savior, unless, like Judas, we do not seek His mercy and love.

Pardoned, forgiven, saved by God’s love for us and His mercy toward us! Alleluiua!
Pardoned by the Lord’s love shown to us by Jesus’ obedience to the Father unto death. Alleluia!

Yet, for our sins was Jesus put to death! Alleluia, praise to our Savior and Lord!

Every woman and man, every child and adolescent, has died with Christ in baptism and will rise with Christ at the end of his or her time here on earth. Alleluia.

Alleluia. O death, where is your sting! Death, for us,  includes the resurrection, as it did for Jesus!

Sting of death, you have been dissolved into the joy of our awaiting for Jesus to return to take us with Him! Alleluia!

Today, Jesus, said to the good thief on the cross, you will be with me in Paradise. Jesus will say the same thing to you and I when we are about to be released from death. Alleluia!

Ever mindful of God’s unconditional love for us, we, too, await our resurrection into eternal life! Alleluia!

Remember that you have been ransomed from sin by Jesus’ death and resurrection! Alleluia!
