Last night before we went to bed, our family made the Easter Story Cookies I posted yesterday. We sealed up (taped) our oven. We talked about how sad it might be to leave the cookies we had just made in the oven and go to bed, just as it was sad for the disciples of Jesus to leave his body in the tomb. This morning I will be waking my family up to a blaring Hallelujah Chorus. They will come into the kitchen to find the seal on the oven broken and the oven door wide open. We are going to try our cookies, and surprise, they will he hollow/empty inside (I hope).
Very early Sunday morning, Mary Magdalene, Joanna and Mary the mother of Jesus went to the sepulcher. They found the stone rolled away and Christ's body gone. They were worried. Suddenly, two angels appeared telling them, "He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee?". The women left and told the disciples what they had seen.
John 20:1-18
The Tomb
Jesus is Resurrected
He is Risen
Later today when my mom and sister come over we are having an Easter dinner of fish and honeycomb just like Jesus ate with his disciples after he was resurrected. (Luke 24:36-49) (I didn't have time to locate honeycomb so we are having delicious rolls with honey) I am going to encourage everyone to write their testimony of Christ. We are going to watch some of these videos:
To This End Was I Born
My Kingdom is Not of This World
