When our kids were toddlers, we taught them how to play Hide-and-Seek. Our daughter caught on pretty well. She’d hide and stay hidden. Our very extroverted son, on the other hand, would hide for thirty seconds, then proudly reveal himself by yelling, “Here I am, Mommy!” He understood the game. He just wanted to be found.
We finally come to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which initially feels like a game of Hide-and-Seek. Over two thousand years ago, those faithful women rose early to visit their friend’s tomb only to find His body gone. The disciples were baffled even though the angels had already explained where He was. It was when Jesus revealed Himself in His resurrected state that the picture became more clear for them.
This was the moment that all of redemptive history had been hurtling toward. Luke and John emphasized that the resurrection fulfilled the Scriptures and Christ’s own words (John 20:9, Luke 24:6–7). He was not there; He had risen. Death, the grave, and the gates of hell could not prevail against our Savior. “God raised him up, ending the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by death” (Acts 2:24).
Think with me about what it would mean if God had not raised Jesus back to life. It would mean our redemption was incomplete, God’s righteous wrath was not satisfied, and our adoption was void. If Jesus did not rise from the grave, we would still be guilty before God, responsible for paying the wages our sins deserved. If Jesus had not risen, we would never know the joys and pleasures of God’s presence, and we would still be in bondage to the power of sin and death.
But the fact is, He is risen. He is risen indeed! And in defeating death, He reversed the curse for good and crushed the serpent’s head. God and people are no longer separated because the true and better Adam glorified God in all the ways we never could. What joyous news—our hope is living, and our heavenly inheritance is unfading (1Peter 1:3–4). Christ’s resurrection power is at work in us even now (Ephesians 1:19–20)! And as if all this wasn’t enough, the Bible says Jesus’s resurrection guarantees our own resurrection (1Corinthians 6:14).
The resurrection is a historical fact that all Christians have based their lives on. Like my son, Jesus revealed Himself so that He may be found (Acts 17:27). And if we have found Him, it’s because He found us first. Sisters, our resurrection hope is an everyday hope which sustains us through all of life’s seasons and each part of our earthly pilgrimage. We have the assurance that God is for us because “He did not even spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all” (Romans 8:32). I pray that the hope of the resurrection would bring us great joy and anticipation for the coming day when we will see Him face to face—forever.

Let us live our lives on the resurrection side of the cross. This study has been amazing, I have learned so much both from the study and all of the comments from you Sisters. Love to you all. HE IS RISEN to prepare a place for each and every one of us. Let us share this with all we can. ✝️

Happy Easter/Resurrection Day everyone!! We live because He lives for us!!!
@Sarah D- AMEN :)
SRT STAFF – I just have to THANK YOU for your attention to detail in this study. Yes, it was CHALLENGING. Yes, it took us out of our comfort zone at times, but oh what growth I have seen in my spiritual walk, Bible knowledge, and discernment. I also see that in comments in this community. This is what pleases our God! May you each be richly blessed as you go forward in this ministry. May each SHE also be richly blessed and help bring others into this AWEsome community! HAPPY EASTER!!!
Happy Resurrection Day sisters ❤️ He is Risen indeed!
Such a humbling study! Thanking God for His faithfulness and compassion on us in that while we were still yet sinners He died for us!
Happy Easter everyone!! He is Risen!! So thankful for Christ. The cross is the greatest reminder that even on the darkest day in history which ended in death, the Lord was working to bring new life!! The work was completed. Jesus is alive! I am so compelled to share that with others. I feel like especially in the church in America, we can so easily grow numb to going to church and hearing the gospel. But, this is the point of our lives!! Our mission is to share what he has done!! I don’t want to be passive, I want others to come to know him. Only he has the words of eternal life. Praying for boldness and courage, and opportunities to share with those close to me. He is so good, and he is WORTH sharing!!
PAMC we sang it at sun rise service here on Cape Cod this AM. I love it also
He has risen indeed!!! Amen amen amen
Jesus Christi’s Risen Today! Hallelujah My favorite Easter song. I don’t think they sing it in church anymore, so I’ll find it on Apple Music to play on the way. I pray y’all have wonderful celebrations with our King, our Risen Savior today.
He is risen. He is not here. Just as He said. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
We rest securely in knowing we are forgiven. Christ has risen!!
He is risen indeed! Happy Resurrection Day!!
Hallelujah! He is Risen!
Hallelujah! May we be like Mary and the other women and take the honored place of being the first to declare to our family and all we meet “He is alive”!
Hallelujah ♥️ He is risen‼️
❤️
Hello, sisters!!! What a joyous day! Woooo!!!!! The Lord has RISEN! I love Easter because it is the fulfillment of not just a promise, but it shows that God ALWAYS win and comes full circle. What started in the garden of Eden ends here. The serpent’s head has been crushed by the only one who could. Until that moment, we were children of sin, but thanks to the Resurrection, God wins and we can become whole and clean in Him. Y’all— this makes me so happy for all of us. I hope you have an amazing day! Much love to all.
Victorious!
Hallelujah He is risen!
He is alive and I am forgiven, Heaven’s gates are opened wide!
Hallelujah, He has risen, Christ Jesus lives in me!
He is alive and I am Forgiveness, heaven’s gates are
Thank you God for loving us! I pray for all those in worship today! Draw those close to You that they may understand that You are Risen. Protect our places of worship as we share Your message of Jesus Christ!
Amen
This is my favorite day of the entire year. He is Risen! Alleluia! I pray that we can hold that joy and truth close in our hearts everyday. Happy Resurrection Day, my sisters in Christ ♡
He is risen! Grateful for the one who washed my sin away. Happy Easter to you all!
Hallelujah! He is Risen! The enemy is crushed, and I/you have eternal life! Praise Yahweh! What a hope that is! Suddenly we have an eternal perspective that changes how we can live our life. Let’s share the GOOD NEWS! When I was young I used to love to get to sing the Easter songs at church on Easter Sunday-
He Lives, He lives
Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me, and talks with me
along life’s narrow way
or
Up from the grave He AROSE
With mighty triumph o’re His foes
He arose a victor from the dark domain
And he lives forever with his saints
to reign
He Arose! He Arose!
Hallelujah! Christ Arose!
Happy Resurrection Day!
Amen
He is risen indeed!
He is risen – Hallelujah! I am forever grateful that Jesus died for me, that God called me to Himself! I am sanctified & sealed till the day of redemption by the precious spilled out blood of the Lamb. To God be the glory!!
A blessed Resurrection Sunday to all my dear SRT sisters!
Happy Resurrection Sunday! He is risen indeed! Enjoy this precious gift my sisters.❤️
HE HAS RISEN! Thank you Lord for your goodness and power. For the hope you’ve given to us and the truth of your Word. I pray my in-laws will know you today as they come to church with us. I pray you will speak to their hearts and show them your love. Less judgement. More love.
He is risen indeed! Alleluia! What a life-changing time it has been to be in the word of God all of Lent, through Holy Week, and now celebrating our Savior’s resurrection for us! Wow! Brings tears to my eyes just writing this! Grateful for this community – thank you for helping me stay close and grow even closer to God each day! Jesus died and rose again for each of us! Praise the Lord – He has risen! Happy Easter She’s! ❤️
How I long to breathe the air of heaven,
Where pain is gone and mercy fills the streets,
To look upon the One who died to save me,
And walk with Him throughout eternity.
Oh the joy that floods my soul!!

Because He rose, I will too! Remembering His resurrection is my key to victory over death and the grave.
