“Real, real, real, Christ so real to me, many people doubt him, but I will not live without him, that is why I love him so he’s so real to me.”
Dear Lord, I am so thankful that I believe, that I know in whom I believe. Lord, you have redeemed me, you went all the way to Calvary to give me the gift of salvation, and I have accepted it joyfully. You continue to show me your marvelous works, you are a constant in my life, and I will not live without you. To God be the glory!
“Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe; sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.” Thank you, Lord, for daily cleansing renewal!
“For nothing good have I, whereby Thy grace to claim; I’ll wash my garments white, in the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb. And now complete in Him, my robe, His righteousness, close sheltered ’neath His side, I am divinely blest. Because Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe; sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.”
But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for Him to be held in its clutches. Acts 2:24
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 1 Peter 1:3
“Death cannot keep its prey, Jesus my Savior; He tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord!” Death could not hold Him; the grave could not hold Him. He arose!
“Up from the grave He arose; with a mighty triumph o’er His foes; He arose a victor from the dark domain, and He lives forever, with His saints to reign. He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!”
“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me, I once was lost but now I’m found, was blind but now I see.”
“Behold the man upon a cross, my sin upon His shoulders, ashamed, I hear my mocking voice, call out among the scoffers. It was my sin that held Him there until it was accomplished, His dying breath has brought me life, I know that it is finished.”
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 3:17
“How deep the Father’s love for us, how vast beyond all measure, that He should give His only Son, to make a wretch His treasure. How great the pain of searing loss, the Father turns His face away, as wounds which mar the Chosen One, bring many sons to glory.”
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
“I will not boast in anything, no gifts, no power, no wisdom, but I will boast in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection. Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer, but this I know with all my heart, His wounds have paid my ransom.” Thank You, Lord!
“So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it someday for a crown.”
“On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, the emblem of suff’ring and shame; and I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best, for a world of lost sinners was slain. So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, ’till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it someday for a crown. Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, has a wondrous attraction for me; for the dear Lamb of God left His glory above, to bear it to dark Calvary.” Thank you, Lord!
Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20 – Thank you, Lord, that I am living by faith and not by sight.
Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe. Then Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’ ”Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that He had spoken these things to her. John 20
Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” Allelujah! He is risen!
