Easter Hallelujah!

By Helen Jesze, 1^st May 2021

Dear devotionalsjust4u!! Friends,

I hope you are all keeping well and safe, enjoying the first easing of lockdown, and Spring bursting forth on every side! What a beautiful time of the year!

I was thinking of the weeks between Easter/Passover and Pentecost — how exciting it would have been to have been alive at the time of Jesus! Not only was He the firstborn from the dead after His Resurrection, but after taking the keys of death and hell from satan, He ‘took captivity captive’ and brought a whole host of others out of their spiritual prison with Him, those who had believed and looked forward to His coming! They showed themselves alive in Jerusalem!! For forty days Jesus showed by ‘many infallible, convincing proofs’ that He was indeed alive! How incredulous and life-changing was this truth as it took hold of the disciples and so many others who saw Him, as He showed them His pierced hands, feet and side, yet shining in light, bringing them peace, joy and a new mandate to go and tell the world of His death and rising in glory!

Someone sent me a video-clip of two young ladies singing “Easter Hallelujah!” I found it very beautiful and as we are now still in this period of forty days, I would like to share it with you. (I found when I downloaded it first, then it was easy to opefor) Looking back to what was, expectant to what lies before us. I pray it will also bless you in a mighty way, as you watch and worship our wonderful Your Friend on the Journey,
