EASTER SUNDAY 2025
He is not here, He has Risen!
This year we celebrated our very first Easter Sunday morning service after 99 years of ministry to the Woodland Beach community.
To guide your reflection here is an outline of the message I delivered based on the gospel of Mathew, 28: 1-7
- The Time of the Resurrection
- After the Sabbath, after Saturday
- At dawn (sunrise) around 6:00 am
- On the first day of the week, Sunday
- The time of the year: Jewish Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread (It could be late March to the end of April.
- The events surrounding the Resurrection
- A violent Earthquake had shaken the city of Jerusalem
- There had been a complete solar eclipse on Good Friday, 3 days before
- Some witnesses had seen bodies come out from the tombs on the Mount of Olives
- An angel had come down from heaven and rolled away the giant stone from in front of Jesus’ tomb and sat upon it
- The Message of the Resurrection
- The angel delivered the message to the two Marys: Mary Magdalene and the other Mary
- “Do not be afraid. You are looking for Jesus.”
- “He is not here. He has risen!”
- “Go tell his disciples, ‘He has risen.’”
- Wishing each of you in our Woodland Beach Community Church community a very Holy and Blessed Easter.
