As I was thinking about Easter and this time we have to remember Christ, crucified and buried, yet alive today I was reminded of these verses-
"......And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable. but now, Christ is risen from the dead!......" 1 Corinthians 15:17-20
We do have hope. There is a hope and future for all who believe in Christ and the fact that he did die for our sins, was dead and buried and is now alive!
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotton us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead to an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you." 1Peter 1:3-4
I am so thankful for the precious gift of salvation and ability to believe and have this hope.
I have been listening this week to John MacArthur's current series, which is as usual, excellent - if you have some free time this is a wonderful perspective on Easter
Easter - Through the Eyes of God
(right now it is showing on the Grace to You website homepage as the current radio series, but if it moves next week, just search recent radio broadcasts and it should be listed!)
Happy Resurrection Day to each of you!
