ALL THE TIME

"Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. And they remembered his words,"

Luke 24:1-8
King James Version

Flora Kirkland wrote a beautiful hymn about the resurrection of our tender loving Saviour that brings tears of happiness to my eyes "EASTER, JOYOUS EASTER"

"Easter, joyous Easter, holy happy time! Bells ring out their message, Joy in every chime; Sweetly through their music, Faint an echo swells, Voices seem to mingle with the bells.
Seek ye not the living here among the dead; Christ the Lord is risen, risen as He said;

Blessèd reassurance, gone the weary night, Christ is risen! Easter breaks in floods of light! Voices in a garden, near a rock-hewn tomb, Gracious heav’nly voices, Cheering earth’s dark gloom; Voices from the glory, Sent from thence to tell, Jesus lives again! Immanuel!"

Can you imagine the happiness that our Heavenly Father felt when His beloved Son rose? Think of the tears of joy that flowed down His cheeks when His Son rose.

O how much our Heavenly Father loves us that He would allow His precious Son to be beaten beyond recognition, spat on, cursed, mocked, humiliated and crucified for our sins.

One day, we will have the privilege and joy of seeing our risen Saviour face to face. What a day of happiness and joy that is going to be! I love You so much, Jesus. You are so precious to my heart. Thank You for all You have done for me.
