The Resurrection
1When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. 2Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?"
4But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. 5As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
6"Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.' "
Happy Resurrection Day!
Hope you had a good one...I'm a couple days late and just getting all caught up. It's wonderful that He is ALIVE!!!!

He has risen indeed.
And can I point something out that was new to me, and was pointed out this Sunday. The words "and Peter" . . why?
Peter was the one who denied Him three times just before Jesus died . . .betcha Peter was feeling pretty rotten. So the angels said go tell the dicipels AND Peter, 'cause it's all good now!
I don't know, that kinda touch me. Thank God He doesn't hold grudges!
