[April 14, 2017]  To be postedAt the close of the battle of Waterloo, upon which hung the destinies of Europe, people in Britain anxiously awaited news of the result.

Their only way of rapid communication was that of signal lights flashing across the English Channel. As the report of the battle was being transmitted, an intervening fog became so dense that only a part of the message was received. It read: “Wellington defeated.” Gloom fell upon the people. It seemed that everything was lost.

But then the fog lifted, and the blinking signal lights repeated the message. It spelled out, “Wellington defeated the enemy.”

Good Friday is the first part of the message, with Easter Sunday we receive the entire message. Come celebrate the complete message that Jesus has defeated all of our enemies including sin, death and the devil.
