Easter

A virgin.

A baby.

Savior.

A boy.

A temple.

Miracles.

Messiah.

A donkey. 

A crowd. Waving Palm Branches.

A Triumphal Entry. 

Jesus. 

The Last Supper. A Cup. 

A Garden. A Prayer. 

A kiss. A Betrayal. 

An Arrest. 

Scourged.  Beaten. Whipped.  

A Cross.  

A Hill.  A Crowd.  A Crown.  Thorns.  Nails.  Hands. Feet.  

A Spear.  

A Cry.  

A Die Cast.  

Death. 

An Ending.

Darkness. 

Sorrow.  Weeping.

Wait-

A Rumble.  

An Angel.  

A Stone.  Rolling.  A Witness.  

A Miracle.  

Alive. 

Jesus.  

Forever.

Sin.  

Forgiven.

For Me:  A Hope.

For You:  A Future.

For Us:  A Beginning.

We will see Him again.

Hallelujah! He is RISEN! That was a really great post. The first thing I want to do when I meet Jesus is touch His scars. Can you even imagine? I can't even think about it without crying...

Happy Easter!!

"Because the sinless Savior died, my sinful soul is counted free!
For God the Just is satisfied to look on Him and pardon me!"

Praise the Lord - He is risen indeed!
