He is Risen!
Matthew 28:5-7
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. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
Christ the Lord is Risen today, Hallelujah! He is not here! The grave could not hold him down! Jesus Christ arose the victor and has given us the victory. We no longer have to fear death, we no longer are a slave to sin, we no longer sacrifice; the ultimate sacrifice has come and through Him, we have eternal life! Jesus is alive!
1 Corinthians 15:3-4,55-58
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:…O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.!
