"And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him."
Today's lesson contains the three most glorious and earth stunning words ever spoken, "HE IS RISEN".
When Jesus overcame death He freely passed that same opportunity to every lost soul on earth who will simply, and forever, believe in Him.
In order to obtain eternal life, there are no tasks to be fulfilled nor rituals to be performed. One need only believe that God is the sovereign ruler of the universe and that Jesus, God's only begotten Son, is Christ, who was virgin borne, lived, died on a cross as a sacrifice for ALL the sins of the world, was resurrected on the third day and, after completing His divine task,ascended back to the Father in heaven.~
