He's Alive

Around Easter time I always think of this song "He's Alive" by Dolly Parton. (My other favorite song is "The Glory of the Blood" by Avalon). I found it on you tube and wanted to share the video with you. This song tells the story of that blessed morning when Mary went to the tomb to find that Jesus wasn't there, He had RISEN!!! As Christians, we celebrate Christmas as a blessed event, because God sent his son, Jesus to be born. But Easter, is the celebration that sometimes I think gets over looked. We should celebrate this Easter that not only was Jesus born, but He lived, then died, then was raised from the dead 3 days later. The RISEN Savior is what gives us Christians the hope and comfort that we too, will one day be raised from the dead to live with Christ in Heaven. The fact that Jesus died for all our sins, no matter how small or big you may think your sins are, He died...He took our place, my place. Because of that great sacrifice, our sins can be washed away and thought of no more. But then, God raised Him from the dead! He's Alive. I serve a RISEN Savior. You can go and visit the tomb, but He's not there! Praise the Lord! No other religious figure in the history of the world has been risen from the dead except for Christ. If you go visit their tombs or place of rest, they are still there. What awesome and mighty power God has! And we can have that same power in us by the Holy Spirit. (Not to raise people from the dead, but the courage and faith that God is in control, no matter what our circumstances may be, He knows all, Sees all, and He is still on the throne and will always be. What an awesome sense of peace and encouragement that that gives us. He is Alive! We pray and talk with a God that is living. Celebrate and rejoice that God loves us that much. This Easter take time to praise God and to thank Him.
