HE IS RISEN INDEED!

  The Resurrection 24  But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.   2  And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,   3  but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.   4  While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel.   5  And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?   6  He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee,   7  that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.”   8  And they remembered his words, 9  and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10  Now it was Mary ...

Psalm 118

His Steadfast Love Endures Forever 118  Oh give thanks to the  Lord , for he is good;      for his steadfast love endures forever! 2  Let Israel say,      “His steadfast love endures forever.” 3  Let the house of Aaron say,      “His steadfast love endures forever.” 4  Let those who fear the  Lord  say,      “His steadfast love endures forever.” 5  Out of my distress I called on the  Lord ;      the  Lord  answered me and set me free. 6  The  Lord  is on my side; I will not fear.      What can man do to me? 7  The  Lord  is on my side as my helper;      I shall look in triumph on those who hate me. 8  It is better to take refuge in the  Lord      than to trust in man. 9  It is better to take refuge in the  ...

Jeremiah 5:14 - 31 & Romans 12:9 - 13 1- 14

  Jeremiah 5:14 - 31 14  Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of hosts: “Because you have spoken this word, behold, I am making my words in your mouth a fire,     and this people wood, and the fire shall consume them. 15  Behold, I am bringing against you     a nation from afar, O house of Israel, declares the Lord. It is an enduring nation;     it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language you do not know,     nor can you understand what they say. 16  Their quiver is like an open tomb;     they are all mighty warriors. 17  They shall eat up your harvest and your food;     they shall eat up your sons and your daughters; they shall eat up your flocks and your herds;     they shall eat up your vines and your fig trees; your fortified cities in which you trust     they shall...

Revelation 9:1 - 11 & Jeremiah 5:4 - 31

9  And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. 2  He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft.  3  Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth. 4  They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.  5  They were allowed to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone.  6  And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them. 7  In appearanc...

How God Gets The Last Laugh

  Genesis 4 And Lamech took two wives. The name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.  20  Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.  21  His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe.  22  Zillah also bore Tubal-cain; he was the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. 23  Lamech said to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice;     you wives of Lamech, listen to what I say: I have killed a man for wounding me,     a young man for striking me. 24  If Cain's revenge is sevenfold,     then Lamech's is seventy-sevenfold.” On the face of it, Lamech, considered as a son of Cain sounds like a real piece of work, doesn’t he?     Like his great-grandfather, Cain, he comes across as a violent man prone to injustice.     ...
