The Wonder Of The Empty Tomb
The ancient world boasted of 7 wonders; The pyramids of Egypt, the hanging gardens of Babylon. the temple of the goddess Diana at Ephesus, the lighthouse at Alexandria, Egypt, the Colossus in the harbor at Rhodes, the statue of the pagan gos Zeus at Olympia, and the tomb of the Persian King Halicarnassus.
Of all of those ancient wonders, only the pyramids are still standing. All of the others have crumbled, along with the ancient world powers whose accomplishments they memorialized. But another wonder form the ancient world is still very much alive in the world today! This wonder is far more significant that all 7 of these ancient landmarks put together. This is the wonder of the empty tomb of Jesus Christ.
When the body of Jesus was placed int he tomb, the forces of evil were certain that they had won the victory at last.But Jesus was raised from the dead on the 3rd day. His Resurrection proves that He is far more powerful than sin and death, and all of the other negative forces that Satan uses against us. Wonder of wonders, Jesus Lives! His dynamic power is available to all who place their faith and trust in Him.
"To be able to find joy in another's joy; that is the secret of happiness."

Heart Delights
God is with me and I am with God. God's blessings of life light, and love flow through me. I have a special place in God's world.
Amen
Opportunity knocks but once, but temptation leans on the doorbell.
For the gift of life and health, Oh God, and the strength to do my work, I praise you. Amen
Learn to forgive. You will never be happy with bitterness in your soul.
