Easter Sunday we started the day at church. The service started with the choir standing at the back of the church singing "Were You There When They Crucified My Lord". The choir ending the song as they were taking their places in the choir loft. My husband Charlie and the choir sang He's Alive. Followed by Pastor JT sharing a message titled From Grief to Gladness. He was preaching from John chapter 20: 20 where Jesus appeared to the disciples after His resurrection. It was His words and His presence that released them from their guilt and grief. The message was so personal that He delivered it to the disciples Himself. Jesus actions were comforting and soothing instead of condemning them. He shifted their focus from their failures to His victories.
As I was sitting taking in every word I couldn't help but wonder if others were seeing and hearing what I was.....The choir told the story of what He did for us through song followed by Pastor JT sharing with us who Jesus is....loving, forgiving, comforting, soothing, He is able, He is truth, He is peace.
What a beautiful picture was illustrated for us Eastor Sunday morning of not only what Jesus did for us, but who He is to us...His children.
