He is Risen!

“After the Sabbath, as the first light of the new week dawned, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to keep vigil at the tomb. Suddenly the earth reeled and rocked under their feet as God’s angel came down from heaven, came right up to where they were standing. He rolled back the stone and then sat on it. Shafts of lightning blazed from him. His garments shimmered snow-white.
“The guards at the tomb were scared to death. They were so frightened, they couldn’t move.
“The angel spoke to the women: ‘There is nothing to fear here. I know you’re looking for Jesus, the One they nailed to the cross. He is not here. He was raised, just as he said. Come and look at the place where he was placed.'” – Matthew 28:1-7 THE MESSAGE
He is risen
He is risen indeed!

Thanks for coming by Lux! Yes, they are totally real. Photographed a few years ago, when we spent a spring day with friends in West Vancouver.
