Paper sculpture of 1st. Century Galilean fishing boats by C. D. Twigg

The ladies returned from the tomb, and I am not sure that they were they believed? They said that Jesus had risen!

Indeed Jesus had conquered death and was again with them. He went ahead of them to Galilean fishing boats like these above  where he prepared a BBQ breakfast on the beach.

All things are new, we are loved, forgiven and now we are no longer under condemnation. Jesus has the victory, because death can not hold Him. However much we understand or do not understand about the cross, realize this, God loves you and because of the last few days events, we are safe and secure with Him 

The words of the carol come to mind,

Joy to the world, the Lord has come

Now this realy is a time to celebrate
