HE IS RISEN INDEED!

Happy Easter!

We rejoice together this Easter day! It is true! Christ is risen. He has triumphed over sin, death and the power of the devil once and for all! In faith, we live our life knowing how it will end, in victory! The security of our future is not in the things of this world: a good bank account, stable job, a solid 401(k) and retirement plan. Today we celebrate the only security that is forever. In Christ, we have glorious heavenly victory. Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. He is risen! He is risen, indeed Halleluiah! YES!

If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
1 Corinthians 15:19‭-‬26 ESV

I pray that today you feel the comfort with Easter light to all who mourn, dry your tears of sadness, and be brought to renewed peace and joy in Christ Jesus!

Now, tell all the world that Christ is risen and make it known He has done this!

God’s richest blessings to you and your family this day and always!
