I'm just amazed that God would sacrifice his only son for the lowly people of earth's sin. Jesus was beaten, stripped nearly naked, and made fun of. He was mocked by the soldiers. When he had given up his spirit, the curtain of the temple tore in two.
Now, three days later, Jesus has risen.
Matthew 28: 1-10
After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”
So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”

Jesus has risen.
I hope you all have a wonderful easter and can we hear an AMEN?
AMEN. I am very amazed and touched...He died for us, sinners, when He had no reason at all. He did it own his own. He could've called His angels or used His powers to stop all His suffering, but He didn't. And 3 days later, our lives were spared because of Him. Jesus. The King of Kings, I love Thee.
