Our He Is Risen! Risen Lord is victorious over death. Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, By His glorious Resurrection, Christ Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought has shown the unlimited power of spices, that they might come and anoint Him. Very God as the Source and Giver of life; early in the morning, on the first day of the week, and because of His love for us, He they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. And they said among themselves, “Who will roll has brought us from death unto life, away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” and from earth unto Heaven. Life is But when they looked up, they saw that the stone restored by our Creator to all that it had been rolled away—for it was very large. And was meant to be! Life abundant and entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed eternal is ours! in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and The Risen Lord stands before they were alarmed. But he said to them, “Do not us on this holiest of days saying, I be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was am the resurrection and the life; he crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place who believes in me, though he die, where they laid Him …Now when He rose early yet shall he live; and whoever lives on the first day of the week, He appeared first to and believes in me shall never die. Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven (John 11:25-26) Life beyond the demons. She went and told those who had been grave has been revealed. The fear with Him, as they mourned and wept. of death has been dispelled in the light and power of the Resurrection. In this glorious light we ask with St. Paul, O death where is your victory? death where is your sting? (1 Corin- thians 15:55) We proclaim our joy, because this perishable nature can put on imperishability, and this mor- tal nature can put on immortality. (1 Corinthians 15:53) Now the salva- tion and the power and the kingdom of God has come, and we shall live forever. In the blessings of this Feast of feasts, from the promises of our own resurrection and eternal life, we see that our earthly life is transformed. We are offered abundant, fulfilling, and purposeful life. We are called by the Risen Lord to embrace this life. Through our faith in Him and the power of the Resurrection, we are a new creation. Our lives are transformed, as the old passes away and all things are made new.
