And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee. Luke 24:3-6.

Happy Resurrection Day to all! We the membership of Miracle rose up early this morning to celebrate and offer up high praise to our risen Savior Jesus the Christ. He who was once dead is alive forevermore! The resurrection solidified the believer’s soul salvation. His death, burial and resurrection from the dead sealed the deal. Jesus bodily resurrection is one of the central themes of the Christian faith. It validates the claims that He is Lord of all! Although Jesus resurrection occurred over two thousand years ago, we pause to celebrate that moment in history.

Church, let us celebrate our risen Savior and praise God for sending His only Son to die that we might live with Him forever in heaven. If Christ had not rose up from the grave, our living would be in vain. But because He rose up from the grave, we too shall one day rise up to be with Him.

Have a Wonderful and Happy Resurrection Day!
