Matthew 28: 5-6
And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

Happy Easter everyone! Christ the Lord is risen today... Hallelujah!! Through His Resurrection we can have eternal life because not only did He give His life for us, but also He rose victorious from the grave!

Did you know the word "Easter" is only mentioned ONE time in the Bible? Here is the verse:

Acts 12:4
And when he (King Herod) had apprehended him (Peter... disciple of Jesus), he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.

Maybe that is something you knew and maybe it is something new. :)

Here is the third verse to "Crown Him with Many Crowns" so fitting for today!!!

Crown Him the Lord of life,
Who triumphed o'er the grave,
Who rose victorious to the strife,
For those He came to save.
His glories now we sing,
Who died and rose on high.
Who died eternal life to bring,
And lives that death may die.
