“I am he that liveth, and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore."
Too many of us are living as if we were in the pre-Resurrection days. Like the disciples on the Emmaus road, we are walking with the risen Savior and are sad. History tells us, after the post-Resurrection era, believers greeted one another with three, little, simple words: “He is risen!” Maybe we ought to get back to this primitive salutation
Jacob was existing rather than living because he thought Joseph was dead. But when the news came, “Joseph is yet alive,” we are told, “...the spirit of Jacob revived.” It was then that Jacob said, “It is enough.”
And so it is with any who are sad and despondent today. It is enough to hear “Jesus is yet alive!” These words will cause our hearts to burn within us again, and will revive our sagging spirits.
Hallelujah, He is risen!
An empty tomb is the cure-all for an empty heart.~rds

Amen, Dad!
