Yesterday was a really special day for many of us. In fact, its the day where it changes everybody's lives forevermore. Yesterday was... Resurrection Sunday!
It's VICTORY day! It's the day where DEATH has been defeated! I mean, who else CAN defeats death right!? JESUS DID! Hallelujah! And the best part isn't even here yet! Jesus DEFEATED death.. For you. For me. For us all. Forever.
I was just watching the live Easter service from hillsong church in the morning, just before I set off to church. Pastor Brain said something that REALLY struck me, probably the entire day yesterday. He said that throughout history, actually Jesus isn't the only one that died and rose again. Many a times, we tend to tell people, Jesus died and rose again! That's true! But... Lazarus died and rose again too. Many people died and rose again too. For example, the people that Charles Wigglesworth revived from the dead. they all died and rose again too.
Pastor Brain goes on and said that, so what makes Jesus so different from them all? Yes we know that He is the Son of God and they all are just human beings. But what pastor Brain said really reminded me something that I always knew from the heart. You see, these people, such as Lazarus, they died.. they rose again from the grave... but they STILL eventually die AGAIN. They have no choice but to go to the grave again.
BUT JESUS... He's different. He died, He rose again from the grave, and FOREVERMORE HE WILL LIVE. Jesus did not have to die again. Jesus conquered DEATH. What a victory!!!
HAH. You have no idea how excited I am just by typing all these down. I am literally jumping and just... Okay nvm. Haha. But YES. Jesus defeated death on this day some 2000 years ago and because of this day, we will never ever have to fear death ever. Again. :')
Of cus, as much as this victory is given to us FREELY by the most amazing God ever, It is definitely not cheap. Free things give DOES NOT mean that it is cheap. Let me show you the price that was paid. Literally. For us all.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
That's how much He loves you. And me. Hallelujah. What a sacrifice. But what a victory He has gained!

Church on Resurrection Sunday has always been top notched! As always, it'll be filled with amazing item and songs and much more! :)
Love Sam's epic faces in those above! HAH! This girl always show faces when she takes pictures. Oh well.
Because He lives
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives
All fear is gone
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
Everything about yesterdays service was good. Seriously everything. But if you ask me to name just ONE thing that I would highlight, as the highlight of them all, it'll definitely be the video that Pastor Prince showed us. I mean, I've heard time and time again from the man Himself about how he always envision a video like this, and that one day it would be "drafted" out and shown to the world just like how God showed him in his vision. Many days went by and, still, there weren't any video... Until yesterday!
Man! I was literally out of my seat, trying to see so much more of it! HAH! But what a video. What a Jesus. What a sacrifice.
Happy Resurrection Sunday, y'all! I am so blessed beyond words. :')
