REFLECTING ON GOOD FRIDAY AND EASTER SUNDAY
"Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen. He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go tell his disciples--and Peter--that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see him as he said to you.'" Mark 16:6-7

The first Easter was not as joyful as we might think. In fact most of Easter Sunday was filled with sorrow and fear.
This morning well see why this was so.

Thankfully, from our perspective we can see the importance of Easter Sunday and live our lives in its Light!

We have the advantage of perspective. They didn't.
