Happy Easter! In the words of Christendom- He is risen! He is risen indeed!

One of the things I like about this painting is that the subjects are women at the tomb. The fact that women were noted, named and chronicled in the Bible, especially the New Testament speaks to God’s love of ALL people. All individuals, even those with low social standing such as women in those days, were noted, named and chronicled by Jesus. It speaks to how ALL people, no matter their bank account, influence, schooling, family background, race, lifestyle are welcomed in His arms. God relentlessly pursues ALL to come back to the tomb, find it empty and discover Jesus is living. God desires to have a relationship, not a “religion-ship”, with ALL. What an amazing concept! A Happy Day indeed.
