The Lord’s Resurrection
The miracle of Easter is that the Lord rose with His earthly body which He had made Divine. The Lord let His followers see that the tomb was empty and that He had risen so they could truly understand that He is not like any other person but is Divine.

Further Thoughts
Each year, we celebrate the Lord’s resurrection on that beautiful Easter morning. But the Lord’s rising is not only something that happened two thousand years ago. It is also something that can happen in each one of our own lives when we look to the Lord Jesus Christ as our God and Savior. Each time we turn to the Lord, He can rise in our hearts with joy and blessings. This message of Easter morning is that the Lord is with us always.
