Welcome to Easter Sunday Daily Redemption Bible Blast Bulletin – Today, We CELEBRATE!
Featured Scripture And Commentary:
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me”
I have a couple of things to say briefly and then I will let you get on with your Easter Sunday in full expectation that you will do something appropriate to the day, even if it is just spending a few minutes reflecting on how we wouldn’t have whatever we cherish in our days at all, nor even our soul as we know it, if it was not for the Resurrection. Hosanna! Hallelujah! and Amen!
1. Yesterday I confessed how I had not been putting on the “full armor of God” Paul talks about in Eph 6 and that was enough for me to do something about it. I now have an alarm set to 4AM daily where instead of some electronic noise I hear the recitation of this passage. At the very least I cannot help but think about it. You might do something similar. Email me if you want a specific Scripture waking you up daily. It took a bit to figure it out.
2. Yesterday was also Holy Saturday and it felt brutal.
I was feeling that vacancy of being temporarily disconnected from God and how hollow and empty that that felt because even though God the father is still there he’s not really there for us without the one who makes it possible to give us free access to the Father. So then I went down to the boardwalk, took a walk on a lovely day, kept my eyes from wandering and got down to the South end and just prayed for everybody there. I was thinking about the disciples and how I could relate to what they were going through in some small way and then I realized that for a lot of those people out there on the beach and in the water that’s every day for them so I prayed for them. Anyway otherwise then writing my bulletin and playing with the cats that has been my whole Saturday.
The AI-generated homily for today is particularly beautiful. Yes, we are crucified daily but, if we are centered in Jesus, we walk the lonely walk with him, get crucified and then…. resurrected.
I pray that anyone who this reaches, takes it to heart and moves closer to God thereby. Amen!
Death thought it had the final word. The stone was rolled. The body was gone. The disciples were scattered.
Hope was buried.
But Sunday morning changed everything.
The tomb was empty not because the body was stolen — but because death could not hold Him. The grave could not keep what belonged to Life Himself.
This isn’t just history. It’s your reality today.
You carry your own tombs — grief that won’t lift, sin that won’t release, fear that won’t loosen its grip. You’ve rolled stones in front of your own hope and walked away assuming nothing can change.
Easter says otherwise.
Christ’s resurrection isn’t merely proof He conquered death 2,000 years ago. It’s the guarantee that your tomb will not have the final word either. The same power that raised Him from the dead lives in you now (Romans 8:11). The same Life that shattered grave clothes breathes in your lungs today.
You are not waiting for resurrection.
You are living it.
Every time you choose forgiveness over bitterness — resurrection.
Every time you rise after failure — resurrection.
Every time joy breaks through grief — resurrection.
Every time you love when it would be easier to harden — resurrection.
He is risen — and because He lives, your story is not over. Your pain is not permanent. Your tomb will open.
1 Corinthians 15:20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
John 11:25–26 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.”
Romans 6:4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
Matthew 28:6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
Lord, I’ve treated Easter as a memory instead of a present reality. Forgive me. The same power that rolled away the stone is rolling away what holds me captive today. I receive Your resurrection life — not as a future hope only, but as my present strength. Where I’ve accepted death, You bring life. Where I’ve believed the tomb is final, You speak “Lazarus, come forth.” I walk in resurrection today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
