Were you there?

This morning, as I read the resurrection story, I am excited for the day, I am excited that I get to be a part of such a wonderful day. I am excited for Worship service this morning and being a part of something so great that God ordained. He ordained "Church Service". Paul wasn't going around establishing churches out of his own volition,  He established Churches because God knew we as a people needed something to help us a long the way, we needed a preacher to give us hope,  and a spoken word from HIS Word to keep us on the right path. As I read the story of Christ and his death and resurrection, I am reminded of God's sovereignty, of his promises and of his Love. Thank you God.....

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Oh were you there when they crucified my Lord?

(Ohh, sometimes it causes me to tremble)

Tremble

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, they made a crown of thorns for his head, and bowed before him and mocked him......(Matt 28-31)

Were you there when they nailed Him to the cross?

They gave him sour wine to drink on the cross, cast lots for his clothes, and put a sign above his head, "King of the Jews" (Matt 34-37)

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

A rich man from Arimathea named Joseph who had become a disciple of Jesus, asked Pilate for the body. He wrapped the body in a clean linen cloth and laid him in his tomb which had been hewn out of a rock and he rolled a large stone over the door. (Matt 27:57-60)

Well, were you there when the stone was rolled away?

Were you there when the stone was rolled away?

(Ohh, sometimes it causes me to tremble)

Were you there when the stone was rolled away?

Because of the requests of the chief priests and Pharisees, Pilate put a guard in front of the tomb to make sure the disciples did not come and steal the body. They went and made the tomb secure and the guard stood watch. There was a great Earthquake and an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and rolled the stone away from the tomb, and the guards shook in fear of him. The angel spoke to the women who were at the tomb( the two Marys) and said "do not be afraid, for I know you seek Jesus who was crucified." " He is not here, he is risen, he said come and see the place where the Lord lay."

He was not there..... (Matt 28: 1- 6)

Were you there when he rose up from the grave?

Were you there when he rose up from the grave? 

Oh, sometimes it makes me want to shout and tremble

Were you there when he rose up from the grave? 

This is an old song written by Johnny Cash, but it has been remade by other artists and Christian artists. 

The truth is.... We were not there, but the reminder is that it happened. Does it touch your soul and make you tremble? It should. 

He died for you... He died for me... 

If you do not know Jesus Christ as your personal savior, ask him to come into your heart and your life today. He can and will change your life if you will allow him to.
