It Was A Great Easter Service

 Last Sunday, 20 April. we had the chuildren start out wit htheir Easter play. All the children were not miked so it was hard to hear and understand and follow what was going on.
  But as I could figure out, these three wise dude were seeking the king. Only it is now 2014. They missed him.
   Easter is celebrated because Jesus arose from the grave. Because he rose we shall rise.
   It was a good Easter service. Wish you had been there.

Tomb Still Empty

   One week later and the tomb is still empty. Yes, He must be risen. And if He is risen that means all that he said while He was here is true. He is the God-man. He is returning someday for those who are His. He said so, and since He is risen, He did  not tell a falsehood.

    The cross also is empty. They took Him down and they put Him in the tomb. And the tomb now is empty as I have said.
    And that makes all the difference in the world.

Easter is not bunnies

  Easter is not eggs and bunny rabbits. It is something else. It is the day Jesus rose from the dead, conquering death, and the tomb is empty. Death couldn't hold Him. And that is what we celebrate at Easter.
   Sure, for the kids you have an egg hunt, but that is not the meaning of Easter.As the angel said, He is not here. He is risen.
   And todays sermon at church, yes, there is even a servikce this evening on Saturday, given by Daryl, was made more powerful because we serve a risen savior.
