Glory Hallelujah! JESUS CHRIST IS ALIVE! He arose from the dead, just like He said He would! As Christians, this is the greatest day that we observe and celebrate. On Good Friday, Jesus conquered sin; but on Easter morning He conquered death. Because of the resurrection of Jesus, we too have the hope and assurance of our own resurrection. For one day, all who know Jesus as Savior and Lord, will be joined together with Him for all eternity. We will be with all those precious souls who have gone before us. We will be together again in a place where there is no sorrow, sickness, or pain. It will be a place with no more death ... because "death" was defeated when Jesus walked out of His tomb alive!

My prayer and earnest plea this morning is that each and every one of you know Jesus. He loves you. He wants to save you. He wants to forgive you. He wants a relationship with you. He wants you to spend eternity with Him in Heaven. Will you allow Him to do that? Will you allow Him into your heart and life? Will you receive God's gift of forgiveness and eternal life? Will you let Jesus' death and resurrection count for you? Miss Jean and I celebrate with all of you this most glorious day ... Easter. We love you and pray that today will be meaningful to you as you worship our Lord and spend time with your families.
