Celebrate the victory

So far, all of the "religious" holidays this year (2011) have been so much more meaningful to me than before. This whole weekend has been amazing to me. What Christ did for us is so amazing. Praise the God who saves! Praise be to the King who defeated death! All praise and glory be to the One who won us this unbelievable victory! Because of His death and resurrection, we can live in marvelous freedom from sin and darkness. 

"So I'll stand with arms high and heart abandoned in awe of the One who gave it all. I'll stand my soul, Lord, to You surrendered. All I am is Yours." 

"Tomb, thou shalt not hold Him longer;
Death is strong, but Life is stronger;
Stronger than the dark, the light;
Stronger than the wrong, the right..."
~Phillips Brooks, An Easter Carol

"Let every man and woman count himself immortal.  Let him catch the revelation of Jesus in his resurrection.  Let him say not merely, "Christ is risen," but "I shall rise."  ~Phillips Brooks

“For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver. It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.” - 1 Peter 1:18-19

With love for my King.

Yours truly,
