HE IS ALIVE

"And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."

Matthew 28:5, 6
King James Version

Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote the beautiful hymn "Because He Lives". Jesus rose and He is alive. Sometimes we act like Jesus isn't alive but He is still alive. What a precious compassionate and loving Saviour we are privileged to know and have.  I love the words in this inspiring hymn and I'm so glad they are true. "God sent His son, they called Him Jesus He came to love, heal and forgive He lived and died to buy my pardon An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives."

Heavenly Father, we thank You and praise You for loving us so much You gave Your beloved Son to die on the cross for our sins. Jesus, thank You for loving us so much that You walked that long lonely road to Calvary and allowed them to crucify You for our sins so we can be saved and live with You in Heaven for all eternity. I love You so much, dear Jesus. You are so precious to me and one day I will see You face to face. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
