He is RISEN indeed



Law demands
Grace Bestows
Law commands--but gives no strength to obey
Grace promises and performs all we need to do
Law burdens, casts down, and condemns
Grace comforts, and makes strong and glad
Law appeals to self to do its utmost
Grace points to HIM to do all 
Law calls effort and strain and urges us toward a goal we can never reach
Grace works in us all HIS blessed will.

-Andrew Murray
The Ministry of Intercession

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ


May He be the object of our affection and devotion today as we celebrate.  May tears of thankfulness and awe flow freely and unashamed as we stand in awe of this Savior we serve.

Happy Easter!
