[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica] 1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. 5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. 8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. 9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. 10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica] 11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. 12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, 13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. 14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. 15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica] 16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. --Matthew 28[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]==========================================[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]JESUS CHRIST rose up from the dead. HE is Messiah. HE has the power to forgive you of your sins. HE has the authority to take you from your wretched state of sin and death, and make you born again unto life eternal.

[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. --Daniel 7[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]This is why JESUS referred to Himself as the 'Son of man'.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica] 58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. --Luke 9[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]He took on human flesh and lived among us. He knows our sorrows and weaknesses. He can/does understand us and loves us in spite of our filth and sin. His love and forgiveness are boundless. His lovingkindness and blessings are inexhaustible! He is beyond our capacity to understand when we speak of love and kindness. His nail scared wrists are living proof.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]Along with His inexhaustible love; He is infinitely holy and just. And being infinitely holy and just, He will cast you into the everlasting lake of fire if you do not repent and become born again. Therefore, it is necessary for you to believe, repent, and become born again.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]It is time for you to put away your hatred and pride and lay it down at His feet. It is time for you to lay down your sin and guilt and let Him wash you clean from all of your sin and guilt. HE CAN DO IT! HE HAS THE POWER! Are you tired of carrying that massive amount of Guilt? Lay it down at His feet and ask for forgiveness of your sins, and ask Him to wash you white as snow.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. --Isaiah 1[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]Yes, He has the power and authority to forgive you of your sins and wash you clean of all unrighteousness.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. --1 John 1[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]Now is the time! Today is the day of salvation. All unrepentant sinners, come to Him and lay your sins and guilt at His feet and believe on Him unto salvation.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]As Paul the apostle wrote:[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. --1 Corinthians 15[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]It is perfect and moral for you to repent of your sins and become born again. Release your clenched fists of rage and hate; and lift your open hands to GOD and ask for forgiveness of your sins.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]HE has the authority and power to forgive you! HE stands at the right hand of the Father with open arms![/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]Come! Taste and see that the LORD is good![/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. --Revelation 22[/FONT]
