The Rest of the Story…

…continued from Good Friday’s “DARKEST DAY” post…

Today is EASTER SUNDAY!
EASTER JOY!
THE GREATEST DAY!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Early on Sunday morning, as the new day was dawning,
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the tomb.

Suddenly there was a great earthquake!
For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven,
rolled aside the stone, and sat on it…

…Then the angel spoke to the women.
“Don’t be afraid!” he said.
“I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
He isn’t here!
He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen.
Come, see where his body was lying.

“And now, go quickly and tell his disciples
that he has risen from the dead,
and he is going ahead of you to Galilee.
You will see him there.
Remember what I have told you.”
(Matthew 1,2, 5-7 NLT)

There’s More to Come…

Today was GOOD FRIDAY,
the darkest day in human history.

However — praise God — this isn’t the end of the story!

Stay tuned;
Sunday’s comin’!!!

This is how much God loved the world:
He gave his Son, his one and only Son.
And this is why:
so that no one need be destroyed;
by believing in him,
anyone can have a whole and lasting life.
God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son
merely to point an accusing finger,
telling the world how bad it was.
He came to help, to put the world right again.
(John 3:16, 17 MSG)

World’s Greatest Valentine

Through the birth of Jesus, God gave to the world the greatest gift of love we will ever be able to experience. 

I like to think of this gift as the World’s Greatest Valentine!  When we have God’s love inside us, we focus on others more than ourselves.  Instead of always wanting others to do nice things for us, we gain pleasure in doing for others…and Valentine’s Day becomes the perfect holiday to share His love — with family, friends, and strangers, too!

Whether you are in a romantic relationship or not, I hope MOST of all that you feel God’s love in your heart.  Only through HIS love can we have the best of human relationships.

This is how much God loved the world:
He gave his Son, his one and only Son.
And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed;
by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.
John 3:16
