He is Risen!

As much as I would have like to have posted a painting today - I don't have one that seemed to fit, but I do have something to say:  He is Risen!

Matthew 28
1In 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.
2And, 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.
3His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
4And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
5And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
8And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

Many blessings to you and yours this Easter, Karen. Beautiful and inspiring post. I awoke this morning humming "Joy to the World". What a lovely way to start the day.

Hi Karen, I was looking up new blogs that I hadn't come across yet and was so glad to find yours (The "He is Risen" caught my eye!!) I am a Christian artist from Iowa. It is wonderful to run across someone like minded. looking forward to seeing more of your work.
