Easter

Today is Easter! Christ is Risen!

	WHO has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
Isa 53:2	For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him.
Isa 53:3	He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
Isa 53:4	Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted.
Isa 53:5	But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
Isa 53:6	All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
Isa 53:7	He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth.
Isa 53:8	He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
Isa 53:9	And they[fn1] made His grave with the wicked-- But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth.
Isa 53:10	Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand.
Isa 53:11	He shall see the labor of His soul,[fn2] and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities.
Isa 53:12	Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.

AND......

Jhn 20:1	NOW on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
Jhn 20:2	Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him."
Jhn 20:3	Peter therefore went out, and the other disciple, and were going to the tomb.
Jhn 20:4	So they both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first.
Jhn 20:5	And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he did not go in.
Jhn 20:6	Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there,
Jhn 20:7	and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself.
Jhn 20:8	Then the other disciple, who came to the tomb first, went in also; and he saw and believed.
Jhn 20:9	For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.
Jhn 20:10	Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.
Jhn 20:11	But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb.
Jhn 20:12	And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
Jhn 20:13	Then they said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him."
Jhn 20:14	Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus.
Jhn 20:15	Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, "Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away."
Jhn 20:16	Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to Him,[fn1] "Rabboni!" (which is to say, Teacher).
Jhn 20:17	Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.'"
