EASTER MEANS HOPE !
Easter is celebrated this
year on Sunday, April the 24th. It commemorates the
resurrection of Jesus who had died to pay the penalty for our sins.
His resurrection means the raising from the dead for all who have put
their trust in Him as the following Scripture
declares!
��Brothers and sisters, we
do not want you to be uninformed
about those
who sleep in death,
so that you
do not grieve like the rest of mankind,
who have
no hope.
For we believe that Jesus
died and rose again,
and so we
believe that God will bring with Jesus
those who
have fallen asleep (died) in him.
According to the Lord��s
word, we tell you that we
who are still alive,
who are left until the coming of the
Lord,
will
certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
For the Lord himself will
come down from heaven,
with a loud command,
with the voice of the archangel and
with the
trumpet call of God,
and the dead
in Christ will rise first.
After that, we who are still
alive and are left will
be caught up
together with them in the clouds to
meet the
Lord in the air.
And so we will be with the
Lord forever.
Therefore
encourage one another with these
words.��
(I Thessalonians
4:13-18)These words of divine promise give hope to the human heart.
Death is not the end but a glorious reunion with our Maker! This is the real meaning of Easter. I just celebrated my 80th birthday in a family reunion. Family is a precious treasure, especially as you grow older. I trust that all is well with you and your family.
Happy Easter,
Tom Atkinson
