Jerusalem on Easter Morning
April 8, 2012
~
It is Resurrection morning, we just walked back from one of the gardens outside of Jerusalem where some say Jesus rose from the dead. There was a sunrise service with about 1500 people from every nation. We arrived early, so we had time to read and remember.

Dawn Breaks with Life
~
The dawn is breaking
In the garden where he rose
Many gather to worship
Taking their pictures
Did you know it would be like this
Each one coming to worship
~
After reading all the accounts of the Resurrection
I wrote:
~
At the beginning
There were only a few there
The women were first
But the men did not believe them
The women say – ran to tell
~
They ran to the tomb
To see for themselves what was true
There the empty tomb
Angels spoke resurrection
He’s not here, He’s risen
~
We worship God who’s alive
Each person invited to come
One with the Father of all
His son died and rose
~
Let me join you, Lord
In giving life to this planet
Help me point them to your love
God becoming man
In the person of Jesus
A joy much larger than death
~
It was impossible for death to hold Jesus. It is impossible to death to hold us. Jesus lives in you. We are invited to a life of joy because of the living Christ in us. Do not be afraid or anxious. God is with you. Peter said in Acts 2:24 “… it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.” That same promise belongs so us.
~
You are everything to God. Be still and invite Him to come and hold you. He always comes and sends his angels to join Him. Psalm 91.
