Happy Resurrection Day

Hey Saints...and the rest of us :P
I just want to remind you that today is -so- much more than "Jesus is coming! Quick, hide the eggs!!" (got that from a comedian). Today my pastor, Chris Phillips of River of Life in Jacksonville, pointed out something that I hadn't really thought about before. He said "The stone wasn't rolled away for Him (Jesus) to come out, but for them (everyone else) to look -in-! To see that He wasn't there!" You know...I never really sat down to think about it, but I instantly saw that he was right. Not only that, but if you read the Bible (Matthew 28:2,5-6) you'll see that Jesus wasn't even -there- when the stone was rolled away (supposition. fact: there is -not- mention of Jesus leaving after the stone was rolled away and yet the Angel who did so says "He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay" Matthew 28:6). I don't know about you, it just makes me -feel- good to learn or realize something new every day. Other than that I don't really have any pressing and overwhelmingly new revelations to pass on to y'all except this one song that I keep playing over and over and over again

It won't let me embed the video, but the link is here. Donnie McClurkin - We Fall Down. It's the chorus that gets me "For a Saint is just a sinner who fell down...and got back up". Now -that's- powerful.

A couple of other favorites include
Father Can You Hear Me from Tyler Perry's movie "Diary of a Mad Black Woman;
Never Would Have Made It - Marvin Sapp;
God Is Trying To Tell You Something - Shug Avery from the movie The Color Purple;
PASS ME NOT - FANTASIA BARRINO from her movie on Lifetime, apparently;
and, of course, the new generation's "old faithful": Oh Happy Day from Sister Act 2.

And, uh...for the young(er) generation?? I didn't forget. I still rock with y'all. Like the preacher says "Hey...as long as they're praisin God's name, it's alright with me!" :P

- Peace in Unity
Be blessed
