Why do you seek the living among the dead?


Madeleine et les saintes femmes au tombeau - James Tissot
Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices they had prepared. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb. But when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were greatly perplexed concerning this, suddenly two men stood by them in shining garments. As they were afraid and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen! Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee, saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’ ” Then they remembered His words.

And they returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and other women with them, who told these things to the apostles. But their words seemed like fables to them, and they did not believe them. But Peter rose and ran to the tomb. Stooping down, he saw the linen clothes lying by themselves. He departed, wondering in himself what had happened. Luke 24 1:12 (NIV)

He is Risen!


He is Risen Indeed!

The tomb lies empty. Go forth and sing His praises.

Blessings to all and may the Peace and Joy of Easter be yours always.

  6. How horrible to have known so early that such a great sacrifice for others would have to be made, yet he did, and he was rewarded.

    Happy Easter to all you Chanters out there.
