DAY 16 JESUS IS THE RISEN LORD
Now there are plenty of creative ways that we could represent The Risen Lord on our Christmas trees. One obvious one would be a cross. This year for a friend of mine, her greatgrandkids colored pictures and I used shrinky dink paper to shrink them down to ornament size. She actually has a picture colored by her grandchildren of an empty tomb on her Christmas tree and also a cross.
Another cool activity is the Easter Story cookies....you experiance an object lesson...and get Christmas cookies to boot! http://www.allhomemadecookies.com/recipes/drop/easterstorycookies.htm
And yet again, the lowliest of the lowly was chosen to discover the great event...women who were no of consequence....were the ones to get the great news first!
Matthew 28:5-8
But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
Enjoy today and know that there is noone that God counts as lost....he loves us all!
