Today is Easter Monday. Some 2000 years ago today was a happy day for the few Christians who followed Christ in those days. It has been 24 hrs since the final and decisive event of resurrection has taken place. Ever since then the devil has been trying to underplay the resurrection. The guards who were watching Jesus’ tomb who are the first witnesses of the resurrection were told to say that His followers stole his body. The devil is still trying in spite of many failed attempts. No matter what he tries the fact remains that Jesus is alive and well today sitting at the right hand side of God interceding for you and I.
I recently got an e-mail with the following message in it:

Some time ago I read a local advice column that featured a reader's question about the Resurrection. The reader asked,
"Dear Uticus, Our preacher said that Jesus swooned (went into a coma) on the cross and then His disciples nursed Him to health. What do you think? Signed, Bewildered."
Uticus responded: "Dear Bewildered, Beat your preacher with a cat-o'-nine-tails thirty-nine times. Nail him to a cross. Hang him in the sun for six hours. Run a spear through his side, embalm him, and put him in an airless tomb for thirty-six hours and see what happens. Sincerely, Uticus."

The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.” Matt 28:6
Jesus is risen,
