Resurrection Sunday

"Now after the Sabbath,

as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week,

Mary Magdalene and the other Mary

came to look at the grave."

Matt. 28:1

"He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said.

Come, see..."

Matt. 28:6a

A new Life in Christ, "baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit..." Matt. 28:19

"Buried with Christ in baptism,

Raised to walk in a brand new life"

Have a blessed Easter and Resurrection Day celebrating our risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, with friends and family!!!

He is Alive!!!
He is Alive!!!

This Holy Week has been about -
Jesus Christs' Resurrection!
Without it, the Blood,
the Cross would have been incomplete,
but oh, with it,
we have New Life,
New Hope,
a New Name,
we are New Creations in Christ,
who have accepted Him and
called Him by Name.

Thank You, Jesus,

for Your Birth,

Your Life,

Your Death,

Your Burial,

and Your Resurrection!

The Tomb is Empty!!!

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

who according to His great mercy

has caused us to be born again

to a living hope

through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."

1 Peter 1:3

What the Blood is For...

The blood, pure, dripping red. A sacrifice of sacrifices. A new covenant for all generations, poured out for you. Forgiveness. In times of old, the lamb for slaughter, the laying down, the cutting, and the blood, yes, the blood, as the sacrifice for all wrongs to be righted; then, another day, more lambs, clean animals and clean birds for righteous sacrifices, to appease our heavenly Father. Draining of the blood to cleanse us from all our unrighteous hearts, thoughts, actions.

Then, Jesus, the One Sacrifice with The Blood, would lay down, in the most horrid and cruel of ways, would give Himself, God's Only Son, give All He had, give, yes, even Himself to pay the price, the Sacrifice of all sacrifices, so we one day would accept His love, His forgiveness. To accept Him, living through us, and claiming the everlasting, eternal, never-ending life He offers.

No more, the laying down of individual animals for individual sins, no more the dripping of the blood, the draining, the red below the feet. Now, He gives simply for the asking, for accepting His gift, already given, for His grace upon grace, His mercy. Having the forgiveness of sins whenever we bow before His throne, before the sink, the laundry, the bed, and lifting our eyes, pleading for strength; freely giving when He hears His child's cry. Oh, what joy we have to hold onto, the promise of His life living through us...

"That's What the Blood is For."

True love is this laying down, this giving up what is His for ours, and the total and joyous resurrection of His life, emptying of this life's blood and filled with the everlasting Blood of the God who saves, who lays down and gives the transfusion of His life, taking away our sins of this world.

"In Him we have redemption through His blood,

the forgiveness of our trespasses,

according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us."

(Eph. 1:7-8a)

"All things are cleansed with blood,

and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness."

(Heb. 9:22)

"Knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things

like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers,

but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless,

the blood of Christ."

(1 Pet. 1:18-19)

We have been redeemed by the Blood, the Blood of Jesus Christ, and "That's What the Blood is For."

I pray as you reflect on this Resurrection Sunday,
you are able to thank Jesus for the Blood,
His Blood, He shed for you, yes,
For You.

Always Experiencing Him,
Jody

Dying and Waiting

Good Friday, the Death.

Burial.

and awaiting the Resurrection.

of our Savior. Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

Our Big Garden is planted over at Poppy's, my Dad's home place.

Being together and working as a family is always fun, not to mention work gets accomplished at a much quicker pace than working alone.

The soil had already been cut, preparing the soil.

Cut as Jesus' body was cut, torn, ripped apart and prepared for His own death,

to save souls, to give life.

Making rows. Rows which ran down His back. Over His Body. To plant the seeds for the death that must come, before the life.

Jenny fertilized the ground which would give life, new life,
an abundance of growth for the new life to come.

Julia and Grandmomma are planting plants. Ones that already had died and began a new life.
Water, Living Water, to sustain the new life for the sun, The Son, to shine upon and through.
