Early Sunday morning, as the new day was dawning…an angel of the Lord came and rolled the stone away.

“He isn’t here! He is risen!”

These words changed everything.

“He isn’t here! He is risen!” For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

“He isn’t here! He is risen!” Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

Let all of God’s people rejoice! He is risen indeed!
