Three days ago our beloved savior was buried in a sealed tomb after being crucified. He paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we wouldn't have to. The perfect, pure Son of GOD died for us. Not because he had to, but because we wanted to. Because he loved us.
Many of Jesus's followers were heartbroken about the, supposed, Savior's bitter defeat called death. Mary, mother of James, Mary Magdalene, a former prostitute, and Mary, mother of Jesus, all went to out Lord's tomb to anoint the body with oils. But as they gazed upon the tomb they found it was empty! Had someone stolen the body? How could that be? The tomb was sealed with a large boulder and wax, it would take many men to move it. "Do not be afraid," said a thundering voice from behind them, "He is not here, He has risen from the grave and is alive once again," proclaimed the voice. The three Mary's whipped around to see a great warrior of GOD standing before them. An angel had come to them! And as the angel said, the Lamb of GOD has risen from the grave and defeated death once and for all!
Jesus had defeated one of the most feared and most powerful things in the known universe! Death! Not even the Grimm Reaper could hold Jesus back! Jesus died and rose again for us! He made the ultimate sacrifice then rewarded us with the hope of the resurrection! Sin has lost its grip! Death has lost its sting! Life has gained its joy! All because of Jesus and what he did for us; His redeemed children. Jesus loved you so much, that He literally went to hell and back for you! Now I don't know about you, but that is what I call true love.
