The Empty Tomb
He is not there…
He has Risen!
Matthew 28
1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4 The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”
8 So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”
May you all have a blessed Easter Sunday!

/ April 6, 2012Love you for be able for believe in anything …This means so much to me … I deeply cherish the beliefs of others … and thus they are sacred to me … Love, cat.
Deb
/ April 6, 2012But I don’t believe in just anything. But I do believe Jesus died for my sins, and yours too. And we can have salvation through Him if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior.
You could look at this this way…you loose nothing by believing, but you will gain everything. But He gives you the choice.
Love and Hugs, xx

/ April 6, 2012I think the Resurrection is not just one event 2,000 years ago but a dynamic available to each of us if we choose to accept it and follow that Light.
Deb

Deb

/ April 7, 2012I love the digital painting, I can feel the meaning in it! I will not pretend that I have any knowledge of painting digitally, as I do not! I can barely sketch a stick man with pencil 😉 I love the little Easter chick you left me for WW, he is a cutie! Wishing you a wonderful weekend, and try to not let the wombies eat all the chocolate before you get a taste 😉 ~hugs, Faythe @ GMT
Deb
/ April 7, 2012Thank you, Faythe, and I’m glad you enjoyed the image I sent your way. You can draw, you just have to practice often like any artist does. this include digital painting. I only started digital painting this last winter outside of ms paint.
I’ll try to keep the Wombies away from my stock. The best way to do that is to hide it.
Hugs, xx

/ April 7, 2012Hi Deb
I love your painting, and the little chick you added on the bottom too. I think it helps people to remember to have fun while they remember what Easter is really all about…our risen Christ.
I hope you have a really nice Easter tomorrow.
Gorjuss
Deb
/ April 7, 2012Thank you for realizing all that, Gorguss. That was about what I had in mind when I posted it this way.
