JESUS HAS RISEN!!!!
 
 
MATTHEW 28:1-10 "Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of
the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary
came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great
earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven,
and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on
it. His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as
white as snow. And the guards shook for fear of him, and
became like dead men. But the angel answered and said to the
women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who
was crucified. "He is not here; for He is risen, as He said.
Come, see the place where the Lord lay. "And go quickly and
tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed
He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him.
Behold, I have told you." So they went out quickly from the
tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples
word.
 
And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met
them, saying, "Rejoice!" So they came and held Him by the
feet and worshiped Him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be
afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there
they will see Me."
 
MATTHEW 28:16-20 "Then the eleven disciples went away into
Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.
When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. And
Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been
given to Me in heaven and on earth. "Go therefore and make
disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, "teaching
them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo,
I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
 
MARK 16:1-20 "Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene,
Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they
might come and anoint Him. Very early in the morning, on the
first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had
risen. And they said among themselves, "Who will roll away
the stone from the door of the tomb for us?" But when they
looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away--for
it was very large. And entering the tomb, they saw a young
man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side;
and they were alarmed. But he said to them, "Do not be
alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is
risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.
"But go, tell His disciples--and Peter--that He is going
before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said
to you." So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for
they trembled and were amazed. And they said nothing to
anyone, for they were afraid.
 
Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He
appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast
seven demons. She went and told those who had been with Him,
as they mourned and wept. And when they heard that He was
alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.
 
After that, He appeared in another form to two of them as
they walked and went into the country. And they went and told
it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.
 
Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and
He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they
did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.
And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the
gospel to every creature. "He who believes and is baptized
will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
"And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name
they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;
"they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything
deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on
the sick, and they will recover."
 
So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received
up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And
they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with
them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs.
Amen.
 
LUKE 24:33-48 "So they rose up that very hour and returned to
Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them
gathered together, saying, "The Lord is risen indeed, and has
appeared to Simon!" And they told about the things that had
happened on the road, and how He was known to them in the
breaking of bread.
 
Now as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the
midst of them, and said to them, "Peace to you." But they
were terrified and frightened, and supposed they had seen a
spirit. And He said to them, "Why are you troubled? And why
do doubts arise in your hearts? "Behold My hands and My feet,
that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not
have flesh and bones as you see I have." When He had said
this, He showed them His hands and His feet. But while they
still did not believe for joy, and marveled, He said to them,
"Have you any food here?" So they gave Him a piece of a
broiled fish and some honeycomb. And He took it and ate in
their presence.
 
Then He said to them, "These are the words which I spoke to
you while I was still with you, that all things must be
fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the
Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me." And He opened their
understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.
Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was
necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead
the third day, "and that repentance and remission of sins
should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at
Jerusalem. "And you are witnesses of these things.
 
JOHN 20:19-29 "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." And when He had said this, He breathed on them,
and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. "If you forgive
the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the
sins of any, they are retained."
 
Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with
them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to
him, "We have seen the Lord." So he said to them, "Unless I
see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger
into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I
will not believe." And after eight days His disciples were
again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors
being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, "Peace to you!"
Then He said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and look at
My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side.
Do not be unbelieving, but believing." And Thomas answered
and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him,
"Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed
are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
 
ACTS 1:3 "to whom He also presented Himself alive after His
suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them
during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to
the kingdom of God.
 
ACTS 2:22-24 ""Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of
Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders,
and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you
yourselves also know--"Him, being delivered by the determined
purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless
hands, have crucified, and put to death; "whom God raised up,
having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible
that He should be held by it.
 
ACTS 3:13-15 ""The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God
of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you
delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he
was determined to let Him go. "But you denied the Holy One
and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,
"and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the
dead, of which we are witnesses.
 
ACTS 4:10 ""let it be known to you all, and to all the people
of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom
you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man

ACTS 10:38-41 ""how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the
Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and
healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with
Him. "And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in
the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed by
hanging on a tree. "Him God raised up on the third day, and
showed Him openly, "not to all the people, but to witnesses
chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him
after He arose from the dead.
 
ACTS 13:26-39 ""Men and brethren, sons of the family of
Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the word of
this salvation has been sent. "For those who dwell in
Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know Him,
nor even the voices of the Prophets which are read every
Sabbath, have fulfilled them in condemning Him. "And though
they found no cause for death in Him, they asked Pilate that
He should be put to death. "Now when they had fulfilled all
that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the
tree and laid Him in a tomb. "But God raised Him from the
dead. "He was seen for many days by those who came up with
Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the
people. "And we declare to you glad tidings--that promise
which was made to the fathers. "God has fulfilled this for us
their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also
written in the second Psalm: 'You are My Son, Today I have
begotten You.' "And that He raised Him from the dead, no more
to return to corruption, He has spoken thus: 'I will give you
the sure mercies of David.' "Therefore He also says in
another Psalm: 'You will not allow Your Holy One to see
corruption.' "For David, after he had served his own
generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with
his fathers, and saw corruption; "but He whom God raised up
saw no corruption. "Therefore let it be known to you,
brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the
forgiveness of sins; "and by Him everyone who believes is
justified from all things from which you could not be
justified by the law of Moses.
 
ACTS 17:30-31 ""Truly, these times of ignorance God
overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,
"because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the
world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He
has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the
dead."
 
ACTS 26:22-23 ""Therefore, having obtained help from God, to
this day I stand, witnessing both to small and great, saying
no other things than those which the prophets and Moses said
would come--"that the Christ would suffer, that He would be
the first to rise from the dead, and would proclaim light to
the Jewish people and to the Gentiles."
 
ROMANS 1:4 "and declared to be the Son of God with power
according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from
the dead.
 
ROMANS 6:4 "Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism
into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by
the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in
newness of life.
 
ROMANS 6:9 "knowing that Christ, having been raised from the
dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.
 
ROMANS 10:9-10 "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord

unto salvation.

asleep.
 
EPHESIANS 1:19-21 "and what is the exceeding greatness of His
power toward us who believe, according to the working of His
mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him

heavenly places, far above all principality and power and
might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in
this age but also in that which is to come.

the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right
hand of the throne of God.

dead.  But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, "Do

lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore.
Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
