Part 3
H
Risen
e is risen from the dead. He has
conquered sin. He is resurrected!
This isn't a CSI mystery or even a
medical miracle. This isn't someone dead for a few
moments, or frozen in hypothermia for a few hours.
This is someone brutally beaten after great physical
and emotional stress and fatigue. Then he was hung
on a cross, nails through hands and feet, slash in his
side. DEAD. DEAD. In the tomb for 3 days. In the
warmth of a middle Eastern spring. DEAD.
...and yet NOT DEAD! But RISEN! Jesus rose
again! Just as He promised! Empty tomb, stone
rolled away, angel declaring His glory! RISEN!
This is God's mystery! This is Jesus' gift to us eternal life through Him. The price paid, the sin
washed away, cast away. GONE. FOREVER!
Can you imagine, even on a small scale, the degree
of shock and surprise as the women not only found a
stone rolled away but were greeted by empty burial
cloths and a shining angel. An angel with a heavenly
grin declaring victory. Was this one of the angels
who stood in mournful attendance as Jesus struggled
with our weight on that Good
Friday? Perhaps!

So unworthy and yet so loved.
Chosen, redeemed and loved. How humbling and
joyful this Sunday is.
I'd like to share this video, and wonderful song on
this glorious Sunday morning. Be brightly blessed,
always and in all ways.
More than 2,000 people from Second Baptist
Church, Houston, Texas, gathered at Discovery
Green in the heart of Houston to celebrate the
resurrection of Jesus. The purpose of Dance Your
Shoes Off! was to proclaim the resurrection of Jesus
Christ in a powerful and celebratory way. Most
importantly, each participant left a new pair of shoes
on the field for those in need. These shoes will be
given to local mission agencies, including Star of
Hope, individuals all across the world through our
mission partners and mission trips. This song is
available at iTunes.
Parts 1 and 2 were published via email, if you would

Can you imagine the scale
of the victory that an empty
tomb, vacant burial cloths
and an angel in attendance?
It blows my mind! All of that
for us!
And there was a LOT of
THAT wasn't there? A lot of
sin, a lot of bloodshed and
a lot of human nature...that
crushing weight that Jesus
bore!
For us. Created by God. Led
by sin. Not even enough
faith to be the same size as a
mustard seed and yet worthy.
