The Empty Tomb

Celebration!

Christ the LORD is risen today. Hallelujah.

Because He lives (and His resurrection was witnessed by hundreds of people), we can live courageously, boldly and with joy, in full assurance of Christ's Godship and Messiahship. All praise to Him.
It is stated in Luke 24:7 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again'.
Jesus' death and resurrection has been foretold. And more importantly, it happened just as it is stated! Hallelujah.
The life we live, the salvation we have is all because of Jesus' great love for us.
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13). Thank You Jesus, for being my best friend always.
Before the joy and victory though, Jesus had to go through Good Friday. He had to endure false accusations, insults, physical torture, spiritual agony, mental anguish and ultimately, physical death - and death on a cross (the punishment especially for criminals).
LORD Jesus Christ, 'Thank You for the cross'.
Once again I look upon the cross where You died,
I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside,
Once again I thank You,
Once again I pour out my life.
Read all about the miraculous resurrection in Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24 and John 20.
Christ died and rose triumphantly from the grave and defeated death and Hell.
Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph over His foes,
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
And he Lives forever with His saints to reign,
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah, Christ arose.
Jesus' victory is now our victory. All Hail the risen Lion of Judah.
I will follow through with a walkthrough of Bandar Utama Chapel's Multi Sensory Worship (something quite fresh for most of us).
God bless you all. All praise to our resurrected Lord Jesus!
