This is the day which the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms 118
An angel of God said,
“HE IS NOT HERE; HE IS RISEN”!
Easter 2025
Art as expression – NOT as market campaigns, will still capture our Imaginations
An angel of God said,
“HE IS NOT HERE; HE IS RISEN”!
Easter 2025
Happy Easter!
The antecedent of the pronoun “they” is “the women who had followed him from Galilee” (Luke 23:55); and, from a comparison with Luke 24:10, these seem to have been ANOTHER group of women, not necessarily the same as those mentioned elsewhere in the Gospels, though many of both groups were from Galilee.
The great heart of humanity has invariably received it as gospel truth, the wisest and best of all ages since then having concurred in the conviction that our Lord did in fact rise from the dead.
Thus Jesus rose “through his clothes” just as he rose through the tomb. The angel did not roll away the stone to let the Lord out but to let the witnesses in!
In Acts 1:9-12 a cloud obscured the actual “going up” of Jesus; and, as the holy angels announced the ascension in connection with that disappearance, their word identifies that event as the ascension.
When the seed is planted, and it lands on good soil, the Lord can do beautiful things with it, and the Christian servants it yields are for GOD’S GLORY, not mine or anyone else’s.
