 Once again, we are nearing the time of year when we celebrate
that great and powerful event… the Resurrection of Jesus Christ!
If there is anything that sets Christianity apart from all the
religions of the world, it is the Resurrection. The Bible tells us
that “the wages of sin is death,” and even though Jesus Christ died
on the Cross, He was taking our penalty upon Him. Death could not
hold Him in the grave because it had no right or authority to do so!
We live in a world filled with great challenges. I don’t have to use
this space to recite the news headlines we are seeing on a daily
basis which are filled with people of God willing to lay down their
lives for the sake of Christ. I want to encourage you today to
remember the power of the Resurrection, and realize that one day we
will all die unless Jesus comes first. However, it is because of the
Resurrection that we are filled with hope concerning the wonderful
future we have eternally with Jesus Christ!

I’m requesting that you to take a little extra time to pray for
those who are being persecuted around the world because of their
love of Jesus Christ. The Word is clear that the Christian may even
at times be hated because of the one they love, but it WILL be worth
it all one day.
Please join us to worship on Resurrection Sunday for a special
Easter Celebration.
