Christ is Risen!


It was so sweet to watch James really grasp truths about Easter this year and the price that Jesus paid for us on the cross. We did the Resurrection Eggs with him several nights at bedtime in the days leading up to Easter, and he would ask for them over and over again. He was particularly bothered and burdened by the "mean things the soldiers did to Jesus" and was very adamant that I tell everyone about that. Precious little heart! He also shouted out in church on Easter morning at a very quiet moment that "God rolled the stone away!" Another reminder that our children are watching and listening (even when we think they aren't!). 


 There is love that came for us
Humbled to a sinner's cross
You broke my shame and sinfulness
You rose again victorious
 Faithfulness none can deny
Through the storm and through the fire
There is truth that sets me free
Jesus Christ who lives in me
 You are stronger, You are stronger
Sin is broken, You have saved me
It is written, Christ is risen
Jesus You are Lord of all
 No beginning and no end
You're my hope and my defense
You came to seek and save the lost
You paid it all upon the cross
 You are stronger, You are stronger
Sin is broken, You have saved me
It is written, Christ is risen
Jesus You are Lord of all
(Hillsong - Stronger)
Happy Easter from the Johnson Family!
We'll be celebrating as a family of FOUR this time next year!
