GONE!

 I have been a Christian since 1964, when I was 14 years of age. I can still remember that first Easter service and just what it meant to me. It was the start of a whole new relationship (Not religious experience). In all those years I don't believe that I have missed one Easter service in a church - until today! It really seems like there was something missing today: The joy of being with other believers, singing the good old Easter hymns, worshiping the King of kings and rejoicing in the fact that He is Risen as a congregation! What have you missed about today?

   If you think about it something was missing on that first Easter Sunday at the grave yard of our Savior! When the ladies came to the grave and knew they had to find a way to roll back the stone and finish anointing His body for burial they had no idea that He was not there but had risen! Can you imagine how stunned they were and totally confused! Where is He and where have they taken Him? Then they saw the angels who were sitting on the rolled away stone.
   Matthew 28: 5-6: ⁵ But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. ⁶ He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
