He Is Not Here

Some of the greatest words ever spoken:
"Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen"
~ Luke 24:5-6

Some of the happiest words I've sang:
"He is risen! He is risen! Tell it out with joyful voice. He has burst his three days' prison; Let the whole wide earth rejoice. Death is conquered, man is free. Christ has won the victory." ~ LDS Hymn 199

Some of the most liberating and hopeful words I've read:
"And thus God breaketh the bands of death, having gained the victory over death; giving the Son power to make intercession for the children of men....
"But there is a resurrection, therefore the grave hath no victory and the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ." ~ Mosiah 15 & 16:8 


The most amazing miracle of all happened that first Easter morning.  This day awakens my deepest, most hopeful, thankful and happiest of feelings. 
It's kind of a big deal to me...so therefore my favorite holiday!  Happy Easter!
