Resurrection Sunday

2000 years ago, the enemy thought that he had won a great and mighty victory by putting to death the One who would dare challenge the way the world works. He thought that by nailing this innocent teacher to the cross, he would silence Him. He thought that he was stronger than the ultimate force of good and love. But the enemy was in for a rude awakening. Three days later, the man who hung on the cross to take our sins upon Him and prove how much He was willing to give up for each and every one of us - the man who was by His very nature divine yet was willing to shed that right in order that He might connect us with the Living God - the man they call Immanuel, which meant "God with us" - defeated death and rose from the grave.
