He's Alive!!!

Yesterday's events were truly miraculous! Determined to go out to Christ's tomb even though my heart felt like it had split into a million pieces, I started walking down the street towards the tomb. From a distance I saw Mary Magdalene and James mother, Mary. My heart sunk as I know they were in deep mourning and I wasn't sure I could bear their grief as well as my own. They seemed highly agitated from afar but as I got closer to them I could see they weren't agitated but extremely excited. Barely able to make out their words, as they were talking in such excitement and at such a rapid pace. I asked them to slow down a bit so I could understand what they were trying to tell me.

I don't remember which told me first as they were still talking a thousand miles an hour but they said, "Don't go to the tomb, Christ is not there!" "What?" I asked. Again, they repeated that Christ was not in the tomb. They went on further to explain that early in the morning they went out to the tomb an angel of the Lord appeared to them and a great earthquake occurred as he came down from heaven. The angel told them not to be afraid for he knew the Jesus who was crucified and who they were looking for. He then told them - He is not here; for He has risen as He said. He told us to look in the tomb to see where Jesus had lay. He told us to tell all the disciples to go to Galilee and meet Jesus on the mountain. You will be able to see Jesus there. We were running to tell all of you what the angel told us. They then started to tell me, "We met Jesus, he talked with us this morning!" Talk about jubilation!

What a celebration we were having. My mourning turned to rejoicing! We have to hurry now to get the word out to go to Galilee to see our Lord! He's alive, he's alive, Hallelujah - HE'S ALIVE!
