Easter Day


Charles Flynn

634 views

Alleluia, alleluia.

I am the first and the last, says the Lord, and the living one;

I was dead, and behold I am alive for evermore.

Alleluia.

 

 

The risen Christ came and stood among his disciples

and said, 'Peace be with you.'

Then were they glad when they saw the Lord. Alleluia.

John 20,19,20

 

Lord of all life and power,

who through the mighty resurrection of your Son

overcame the old order of sin and death

to make all things new in him:

grant that we, being dead to sin

and alive to you in Jesus Christ,

may reign with him in glory;

to whom with you and the Holy Spirit

be praise and honour, glory and might,

now and in all eternity.

Amen.

 

I'd rather they would say "There He goes," than "There He lies".

 

Christ is Risen!

 

He is Risen Indeed!

 

Alleluia! Alleluia!

 

 

Shalom, to you and yours.

 

Happy Easter.

Please don't get me wrong here.

 

I know that Easter is or rather should be the most painful part of our religion year.

 

But most folk don't realy get it because they don't get many presents only easter eggs. But they enjoy thge holidays. And this is probably why they prefer christmas because because of the turkey and the presents and things.

 

And most folk I know just seem to use easter to get more drunk and that, for a longer weekend. I bet they don't know what it is all about. Religion seems to be getting in the way of Easter, as the saying goes.

 

Anyway, Thanks Charles.

 

Happy Easter everyone but remember what it is really all about and what the hapiness is for.

Night Shift,

 

Thank you for your comments. You are telling it as it is for many people.

 

For Christians Easter Day is the most important day of the year as Christ has left the Tomb, left death behind and is with all people. He has conquered death and and is alive so providing a way for all of us to do so as well.

 

Enjoy your Easter eggs - the new life of Spring which they signify. And listen to the women in your life - they were the first to hear the Good News of the resurrection!
