THE FREEING OF JESUS=THE FREEING OF US
THE FREEING OF JESUS=
THE FREEING OF US
Easter Sunday means
That Jesus is unbound
Jesus is RELEASED
And he is set FREE
He is no longer
A prisoner for our sins
He is loose
"On the first day
Of the week
Mary of Magdala came to the tomb
Early in the morning
While it was still dark
And saw the stone
REMOVED from the tomb" John 20:1
YES!-Easter does mean
He is set free
He is loose
He is FULLY ALIVE
He is no longer
Bound for our sins
And he is free
To show us the way
To go home
For us-TO BE FREE TOO
"Teach me your WAY-Lord
That I may rely
On your faithfulness
Give me an undivided heart
That I may
Fear your name
I will praise you
Lord my God
With ALL my heart
........" Psalm 86:11-12
"The Lord is righteous
In all his ways
And faithful
In ALL he does" Psalm 145:17
The fact
That Jesus is now FREE
Means he can show up
Anywhere and anytime
In our lives
Just as he did with apostles and disciples
He can look like the gardener
As he did to Mary Magdalene
He can be the stranger
With two friends
On the road
To Emmaus
He CAN be a visitor
With our family and friends
At Easter dinner
He is FREE
He is unbound
He can show up anywhere
At anytime
"He upholds
The CAUSE of the oppressed
And gives food to the hungry
The Lord SETS prisoners free" Psalm 146:7
He sets us ALL free
"So if the SON
SETS you free
You will be FREE indeed" John 8:36
EASTER SUNDAY=the RESURRECTION
Means the freeing
Of Jesus
It also means
The freeing of us to sin
KEEP YOUR EYES open this week
You might see Jesus
In the newspaper man-
The postal deliverer-
Maybe a cashier-
At the grocery store-
Or the car mechanic
At the doctor's office-
Or in your own family and friends
JESUS IS LOOSE-
JESUS IS FREE
Keep your eyes open
You might even see him
STARING back at you in the mirror
I see Jesus
In ALL of you
HAPPY EASTER!-HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY!
God loves you-
Jesus loves you-
And so do I
WE HAVE BEEN SET FREE!
