Steps of Faith~ Easter Sunday

Acts 10:34-43: Peter speaks of what Jesus did from the time John the Baptist pronounced that he was Christ clear through to his death, and resurrection. He also said that if we believe he did all of this we would receive forgiveness for our sins. 

Ps. 118:1-2, 14-24: We should rejoice and give praise the fact that God will be merciful enough to give us the corner stone of our faith. 
 
1 Cor. 15:19-26: Paul explains why we will not have to die spiritually because of Jesus conquering death after he had died on the cross. 

John 20:1-18: Jesus showing himself to Mary Magdala after she had heard that he had risen from the dead. 

 or Luke 24:1-12:The women being told by the angels that Jesus is a live. Then they went and told his followers who came to the tomb to check it out herself. 


On the morning that Jesus arose, the ladies who had stood and watched Jesus die, came with spices and ointment to anoint Jesus body. When they arrived at the tomb, they found that the tomb was open and that Jesus was no longer there. angels told the ladies that Jesus was alive and for them to go tell his followers(Luke 24:1-12). Mary Magdaia must have stayed behind, for she stood there in the garden crying when Jesus appeared to her and spoke with her (John 20:1-18). When the ladies had told his followers, Peter and John ran to check it out for themselves (Luke 24:11-12). This was the bargaining of the great news of Easter day. 

After Jesus went back to heaven, his followers preached of the good news of what Jesus has accomplished (Acts 10:34-43/1 Cor. 15:19-26). Because of what Jesus did for us we can sing praises of joy to God( Ps. 118:1-2,14-24).


Challenge of the day:
Let us remember the gift of salvation and releases from the grave we have because of what Jesus did for us in his death and Resurrection. Then let us sing songs of joyful praise to God for doing so!
