MESSAGE
With all of the global turmoil that embraces war, violence, polarization, hatefulness, and carnage, and just pure EVIL, Our Father in heaven has given us some GOOD NEWS on this SUNDAY Morning; According to reliable resources, validated by the multitudes, THE MAN KNOWN AS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE MESSIAH, HAS RISEN, HAS RISEN, HAS RISEN!!
SHOUT HALLELUJAH THREE TIMES WITH ME!
Beloved, We begin our reporting this HOLY MORNING by revealing witness testimony recorded in Matthew Chapter 28:
Mat 28:1-7 Now after the Crucifixion and the Sabbath, as the first day of the week (SUNDAY) began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. [where Jesus had been laid] (2) And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, [of the tomb] and sat on it. (3) His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. (4) And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.
(5) But the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. (6) He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. (7) And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you."
Other accounts of this miracle have begin to pour in from witnesses in the book of John;
Joh 20:2-29 Then [The women] ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him." (3) Peter therefore went out, and the other disciple, and were going to the tomb. (4) So they both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first. (5) And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he did not go in. (6) Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there, (7) and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself.
(8) Then the other disciple, who came to the tomb first, went in also; and he saw and believed. For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.
(10) But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. (11) And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. (12) Then they said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him."
(13) Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus. (14) Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, "Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away."
(15) Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to Him, "Rabboni!" (which is to say, Teacher). (16) Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.' "
(17) Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her.
SUMMARY
My goodness! Despite her relaying the Holy Message to them, the very ones who had THE CLOSEST RELATIONSHIP with Jesus for the past THREE years still had difficulty connecting the DOTS that what HE, JESUS told them many times, WAS TRUE. HE IS ALIVE!
The point is this: We are here, over a thousand years later and STILL HAVE DIFFICULTY CONNECTING THE DOTS! I am standing before a wonderful gathering of believers! Those who know Jesus personally and continue to hold-what-they-have until that certain day..they are here! There are a few present who continues to "ride the fence" and not commit. Don't be a fence-rider. Heaven is at stake. Lets continue now;
(18) Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, "Peace be with you."
(19) When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. (20) So Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you."
(21) And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. (22) If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."
(23) Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord." So he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe."
(25) And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, "Peace to you!"
Then He said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing." (27) And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" (28) Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." (29) And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; (30)
but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.
Incredible! But truly, truly, it is so! Here we are. Our hearts beat, our lungs fill with air, and we see with our eyes and hear with our ears, and are humbled to tears! What a wondrous gift our Lord has given us through HIS blood, and HIS suffering in this HOLY SACRIFICE, that has changed EVERYTHING! Right now, as your hearts pound inside your chests, BOW YOUR HEADS IN PRAYER!
CLOSING PRAYER
OH MY LORD JESUS, we can barely breathe after witnessing the horror of crucifixion, entombment, and now resurrection from the dead to the living! Lord, As you have gave your body in sacrifice for us...in the Father's will, so may we here and now give our bodies as a living sacrifice to YOU Jesus, from this day forward; serving at Your will for all eternity. This is our prayer, this is our commitment to You Lord Jesus, our King, our Savior, Our Light, AMEN.

THE CALL
If you have never invited Jesus to be your Lord and savior, or, if you have in the past yet remain unsure of salvation and forgiveness of sin, Please pray with me now: Lord Jesus I need to fill a hole in my life that follows me where ever I go. I am a long-time Sinner and I CONFESS and REPENT of all my sins. I believe that You JESUS are the Lord, that you were hung on a cross and died. I believe that you were raised back to life by God, Your Father, ascended into heaven and presently sit at the right hand of The Almighty. Please come into me, clean me, take me and make me Yours and let me serve from this day forward and forever, Thank-You Jesus, AMEN
If you sincerely prayed with me, your salvation has been assured. {Rom 10:9 KJV} -That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
