"THE OPEN ENDED TOMB"
Mark 16:1-8 | Dr. Jim Everette

The reality of Easter changes EVERYTHING! Christ resurrected, death defeated, sins forgiven, evil overcome is almost unbelievable, but the way you live and love confirms it is real. Easter is more than a single day. Easter is a life changing, world changing reality that infuses life and light into us such that we live in the light of the amazing love of God that is never extinguished. The first of all things that God created was light, made by the word of God’s creative power. May we, the followers of the risen Christ, proclaim and continue illuminating the Light of the World. 
“He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, 
see the place where the Lord lay.” - Matthew 28:6

Respond Through Prayer
Love divine, in raising Christ to new life
you opened the path of salvation to all peoples. Send us out, with the joy of Mary Magdalene, to proclaim that we have seen the Lord, so that all the world may celebrate with you the banquet of your peace. Amen.
