Of that first Easter morning we know from Scripture,
“When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome brought spices, so that they might go and anoint Him.
And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb.
And they were saying to one another. ‘Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?’
And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back--it was very large.
And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed.”  Mark 16:1-5
(Also read the accounts in the other three Gospels.)

The Amplified Bible says,
“…they were utterly amazed and struck with terror.”  Mark 16:5
What a shocking sight that must have been!  He was gone!

“And he said to them ‘Do not be alarmed.  You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified.  He has risen.; He is not here…”  Mark 16:6

“…Why do you seek the living among the dead?  He is not here, but has risen…”  Luke 24:5-6

Matthew 28:6 says,
“He is not here for, He has risen, as He said…”

The tomb is empty!  HE IS RISEN!  Hallelujah!

And we can say with the Apostle Peter:
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!  According to His great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you,
who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”  1 Peter 1:3-5

With grateful hearts we say with the Psalmist,
“Praise the LORD, all nations;
Laud Him, all peoples!
For His loving-kindness is great toward us,
And the truth of the LORD is everlasting.
Praise the LORD!”  Psalm 117

And we sing:
“He is Lord, He is Lord,
He is risen from the dead, and He is Lord!
Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess,
That Jesus Christ is Lord!

Blessings to all on this Easter day!
