Speechless Easter Sunday - The Empty Cross!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Results Realty
The Empty Cross

On this Easter Sunday I thought this was a great photo.  Our daughter took this picture on one of her many travels.  I love the way it reflects the empty cross but also the resurrection. To me all the green ivy at the bottom reflect new life. Jesus came to die for our sins that we may live.  All we have to do is ask him in to our life!

Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock.  If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him and he with me.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!

CHERISE, I hope you had a wonderful Easter and I'm sorry it took so long to reply back.

GEORGE, At my bible study this evening we were talking about Easter being a bigger event than Christmas.  Not to downplay Christmas but the resurrection is what it is all about!

LISA, I'm not familiar with that song.  I love the words!

TOM, this is a picture with symbolism!

ANN, It was a glorious day and how blessed to have our son home safe and sound this Easter.

SHARON, Our daughter does have an eye.  When she was home last week I took her to help me pick out granite.

DEBRA, I had a wonderful Easter!  I hope yours was good also!

TREY, Our daughter does have an eye! I remember her re-arranging my sisters aquarium and it was amazing what she came up with.

BARB, It is one of those photos that makes you think.

JUDI, I have been so blessed since we moved to Texas!  Our God is an Awesome God!

JOAN, It was a wonderful Easter!  I hope yours was also!

Marchel - This touched me so very much. This is the scripture that was read at my father's graveside service this past Holy Saturday. Through the pain of the grief at that time, it didn't resound very clearly at the time. Finding it here in your post helped tie it in to the joy of Easter and where my dad is now. Thank you! I'm glad you had a wonderful Easter.

Karen, I'm so touched that this touched you!  Isn't it amazing with all the scriptures in the bible how the Lord will bring one certain one to mind.  I came so close to writing a different verse down but then felt that I was to write this one down and I guess now I know why!

I am very grateful for the cross!  Thanks for another one of your daughter's beautiful pictures.  I wonder if she realizes how many fans she has on AR.

IRENE, I have told her but she thinks it is weird her Mom blogs so doesn't come over (lol).  She does think it is cool that I use her pictures though.

MYRL, I almost didn't use that particular scripture but then felt that was the one. 

CHARLES, Thanks!  Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words!  I love the empty cross for all that he did for us!

CAROLE, We have a wonderful Easter.  What a blessing to have our son at church on Easter and I'm of course double blessed that he is now safe and sound in the United States. Serving his country was good for him but I'm glad he is back in Texas and not in Iraq!

Hi Marchel, I missed this post.  Beautiful picture and most important those words of the eternal hope for mankind.  I made that commitment back in 1967!
