He Is Risen

Because of the

Sabbath, they

were not able

to prope r l y

prepare His

body for burial.

So he was lain

in an empty

tomb, His body

covered with

grave cloths. Early Sunday morning, the women went

to the tomb to anoint His body as is the Jewish custom.

What is this? Somebody has moved the stone! Timidly

stepping inside they found the grave cloths, folded neatly,

but the body was

gone. At the head

of the couch where

He had lain, stood

a man in glowing

white. Mary ap-

proached meekly,

"Please, Sir, tell me,

where have they

taken the Master?"

The man spoke,

"Woman, why do

you seek the living

among the dead?

He is Risen!"
