He is not here but is risen! Luke 24:6
He is no longer dead
‘Behold, the Lamb of God’ He reigns
Where saints and angels tread
The One Master and Lord
Is not by seal on rock detained
Nor chained by death of sword
‘Stop doubting and believe’
Though sins like scarlet flow
The Son of God poured out His blood
To wash us white as snow
‘Stop doubting and believe’
There is no other Name
Whereby we must be saved’, then come
To He who bore our blame
'Stop doubting and receive'
The gift He died to give
‘That whosoever will believe
Will not perish but
live’

John 20:24-29
But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord.
But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the
nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my
hand into his side, I will not believe.And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Wishing you a blessed Easter Sunday!
Happy Easter, Janet, to you and yours!
