| Joy comes in the morning! After enduring the sorrow of the Lord's crucifixion, the women who first came to the tomb that Easter morning discovered that He had risen. We also rejoice at the Lord's resurrection, for it signaled His total victory against the hells and the glorification of His Human. 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 is the message of Easter morning: the Lord is with us always.
This month, we offer a selection of materials to support your celebration of Easter, focusing particularly on the events of Easter morning. Many of the projects, family talks and sermons focus on joy - our joy, the angel's joy, and the Lord's joy, too. We also include a link to an audio sermon this time. Ideas for Family activities and worship suggest ways to feel joy in the Easter story more and more deeply. Songs provide another way to express happiness and thanksgiving for the Lord's love and presence. And the spiritual tasks suggest ways to seek for the Lord and the blessings that He wishes to give us. In providing these materials, we hope that your Easter season will be a bright and joyous one!
