Happy Easter!

I'd like to wish a Happy Easter to all of the blog readers.  We had a great day celebrating at home, attending church and eating with extended family.  This was the first holiday that Noah spent with us.  He thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the eggs with candy inside. 

The reason we celebrate Easter is the resurrection of Jesus.  The Bible declares that "by being raised from the dead [Christ] was proved to be the mighty Son of God, with the holy nature of God Himself" (Romans 1:4).  How great is it that we don't have to figure it all out?!  We sang this song in church this morning and I wanted to share the powerful lyrics.

"This Is Amazing Grace"

  Who breaks the power of sin and darkness

Whose love is mighty and so much stronger
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder
And leaves us breathless in awe and wonder
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That You would take my place
That You would bear my cross
You lay down Your life
That I would be set free
Oh, Jesus, I sing for
All that You've done for me

Who brings our chaos back into order
Who makes the orphan a son and daughter
The King of Glory, the King of Glory

Who rules the nations with truth and justice
Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy, worthy, worthy
