Life and Death

    We celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ next week. Without the raising of Jesus from the dead, there is no hope. Hundreds of witnesses saw Jesus after His resurrection. They touched Him. They spoke with Him. They ate with Him. And His disciples watched Him ascend into heaven. And He will return. He is risen!

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the fruistfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.  1 Corinthians 15:29021

    God became man. He suffered in agony for hours, taking on all of our sins and diseases. The world went dark for three hours. The enormous veil of the temple was ripped from top to bottom. The earth shook. Three days later the SON came out and light entered the world. That light shines in your heart and in mine forevermore. He is risen! He is risen indeed!

Jesus,
Your sacrifice paid the price once and for all, and now death has no sting. To live is Christ, to die is gain. We love you.
Amen
