REJOICE

“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 KJV

Frances Jane Crosby wrote a beautiful hymn about our risen Saviour “CHRIST IS RISEN!”  I love these words.  “Christ hath risen! Hallelujah! Friends of Jesus, dry your tears; Through the veil of gloom and darkness, Lo, the Son of God appears!”  Jesus arose and He will never have to die for our sins again.

Knowing that Jesus has risen should be enough to make us shout with joy and happiness even if we are walking through a dark valley.  When we have dark valleys and crises in our life, our precious Saviour picks us up in His loving arms and carries us until the pain goes away.  What a loving Saviour we serve!
