EASTER!

We made it! It’s Easter!

Mark 16

The Resurrection

 ¹When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. ²And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. ³And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” ⁴And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back— it was very large. ⁵And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed ina white robe, andthey were alarmed. ⁶And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. ⁷But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.” ⁸And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

So what have you learned during this season of Lent? What was significant to you during Holy Week? Did your practice during Lent help enhance your celebration of Easter? I hope so! What will do from here? What practice or habit are you going to continue beyond Easter that will help your relationship with Jesus? It’s great to focus on his death and resurrection, but it was all for a greater purpose- to transform our lives. So how has this Lent and Easter season helped to transform your life?
