A Very Happy Easter to All My Flickr Friends

PLEASE NO INVITES AS THIS IS INTENDED AS A GREETING ONLY - THANK YOU.

 

Matthew 28:5-7

 

And the angel answered and said to the women, Fear not you: for I know that you 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 goes before you into Galilee; there shall you see him: see, I have told you.

 

Is It So Important?

 

Is it really so important

just to know that Jesus died,

Does it really make a difference knowing

He was crucified?

Indeed, it was for all my sin

He hung upon a tree,

So it really is important -

through believing, I am free.

Free from all my sin and shame, my

conscience cleansed from guilt,

You too may know this blessing,

through believing if you wilt.

 

Is it so important then to know that Jesus rose?

That the tomb was empty, mocking

all the efforts of His foes.

Yes! It proves his power,

over sin and death and grave.

By His glorious resurrection,

we know He came to save.

His disciples who had seen Him die,

were frightened and were sad;

Until the day of resurrection -

His appearing made them glad.

 

He ascended to his Father,

there His precious blood to plead,

For those who came believing,

acknowledging their need,

He has sent his Holy Spirit

(Guide and Comforter is He)

He will teach me of my Saviour,

who will come again for me.

Then - with all who love Him,

we shall meet Him in the air.

He will take us to his Father's house,

to praise Him ever there.
