He is Risen!

As always, God conitunes to show us His faithfulness, His very presence in our lives.

This week Katie made bread while Jane Ellen and I attended a ladies' book study of Shopping for Time by Carolyn Mahaney and daughters. She did a wonderful job, the kitchen was spotless, and the house smelled so good when we walked in later that night.

But when we cut into the bread we noticed there was a great chasm inside! We joked together that this was like the "empty tomb."



Allow God to remind you this morning of His defeat of death...He lives! Praise God for His wonderful ways! I love the story of the Resurrection in the Gospel of Matthew:

28:1 Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. 4 And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. 5 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he [1] lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” 8 So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.

He is risen, indeed!
