He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Matthew 28:6 (NKJV)

Rejoice—He is risen!

Dear Friend,    On this Easter Sunday, we join you in celebrating the hope and power of Jesus' resurrection. Whether you're surrounded by family or spending quiet time with God today, we pray this day fills you with the joy and peace only He can give.    Let's reflect on the message that changed everything:  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. 7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you." (Matthew 28:5-7, NKJV)  The resurrection is the miracle that changed everything—for the world, and for each of us personally. As you gather with loved ones or spend time in quiet reflection today, we invite you to encounter the Easter story in a fresh and meaningful way:  Read the full Resurrection account in Matthew 28  Listen to the Easter story read aloud from Scripture  Begin a rhythm of daily devotions to carry Him with you each day  And as we celebrate this special Easter Sunday, you might take a moment to reflect on questions like these:  How does Jesus' victory over death shape the way you live?  Have you ever felt both fear and joy when God called you to something greater?  In what ways has your faith given you strength in difficult times?  How can you share the hope of Easter with someone in your life?  As we close this Easter, we'd love to share a prayer for you—taken from a message by evangelist D.L. Moody, written over a century ago but still full of hope and truth today:    "Dear friends, as he calls us up to him, let us turn our backs to this world.     Let us take Christ as our Redeemer, as our Deliverer, as our Physician, as our Way, as our Truth, and as our Light.     May the blessing of heaven fall upon us all tonight; and may every man and woman here who is out of the kingdom, accept him and press into his dominions."    Amen    May you be filled with the peace, joy, and victory of this day.    He is Risen! He is Risen indeed!    Blessings,  Jody and the entire team at Bible Gateway Thank you for using Bible Gateway to read and study the Bible!
