He Is Not Here, For He Is Risen
In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the Week,came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the Sepulchre.
And, behold, there was a great earthquake; for the angel of the Lord descended from Heaven and came and rolled back the stone from the door and sat upon it.
His countenance was like lightening, and his rainment white as snow:
And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
And the angel answered, and said unto the women, fear not ye; for I know ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
He is not here, for he is risen as he said.
(MATT:28;1,6)
And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary, mother of James, and Sa-lo-me, had brought sweet spices that they might come and anoint Him.
And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came to the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
And they said among themselves, who shall roll away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
And when they looked they saw that the stone was rolled away; for it was very great.
And entering into the Sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment, and they were afrighted.
And he saith unto them, BE not afrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: He is risen: He is not here; behold the place where they laid Him.
(Mark:16;1,7)
Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices they had prepared and others with them.
And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments.
And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
He is not here, but is risen: remember how He spake unto you when He was yet in Galilee,
Saying the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
(Luke:24;1,7)
But Mary stood without the sepulchre weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked within the sepulchre.
And seeth two angels in white sitting, one at the head, the other at the feet of where the body of Jesus had lain.
And they say unto her, woman, why weepeth thou? She saith unto them, because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne Him hence, tell me where thou has laid Him, and I will take Him away.
Jesus saith unto her Mary. She turned herself and saith unto Him Rab-bo-ni: which is to say, master.
(John:20;11,16)
This is the Word of the Lord.
HAPPY EASTER TO ONE AND ALL.

And while He was here on this Earth, He gave unto us a new commandment, that we love one another.
Asked what was the greatest commandment, He answered, To love God with all your soul and heart and mind.
And while we're at it, He continued, also love your fellow human, love your fellow human as you love yourself.
Do unto others, He insisted, as you would have them do unto you.
There is where we all should add a hearty "Amen."
Happy Resurrection Day to one and all.
Remember God did and does love each and every one of us, no matter what language we speak, no matter our skin color, no matter if we have government-issued papers.
Tim,
Sorry to be late here with Easter wishes, but, truly, for those of us bought with His blood, every day should be a celebration of our risen Lord.
I like how you posted the four Gospels' accounts here. Good idea!
I am late too but I like what you did and do. Without the resurrection our faith is in vain. O death where is thy sting? For my Savior is alive again.
