~~~ Easter Sunday ~~~
~~Acts of the Apostles 10:34a, 37-43~~Psalm 118~~Colossians 3:1-4~~John 20:1-9~~
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad.
This is the day of the Lord...the day of resurrection.
This is the day the Lord conquered death for us.
It is truly a day of rejoicing.
Do you find it curious that we use the empty tomb as a sign of joy.
No one actually witnessed the Resurrection of Jesus.
It is his very absence that signifies his resurrection.
I can only imagine how difficult
it was to let Jesus go after all they had seen him accomplish.
They did not understand and today they are left with emptiness.
Saint Paul tells us Jesus emptied himself, taking the form of a servant.
Jesus has once again emptied himself of his human body.
He must be emptied to be raised from death.
His Resurrection is Light, Life, Freedom.
We are invited to enter into the Joy of the Empty Tomb.
He is the Resurrection and the Life.
Believe that you too may be raised up with him to eternal life.
Blessed with the Joy of Easter!!!
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
