He Is Risen

Happy Easter!  May God richly bless you today and show Himself to you in a real and personal way this Easter.  

"The benefits of the resurrection are innumerable. To list a few:
Our illnesses don't seem  nearly so final;
Our fears fade and lose their grip;
Our grief over those who have gone on is diminished;
Our desires to press on in spite of the obstacles is rejuvenated...
Our identity as Christians is strengthened as we stand in the lengthening shadows of saints down through the centuries, who have always answered back in antiphonal voice: 'He is risen, indeed!'"
 Charles Swindoll

For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures...And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! 

 1 Corinthians 15:3-4,17

Praise the Lord for the resurrection for without it, our life has no meaning, no direction, no hope, no gain, and no point!  Christ is our life, and our salvation begins and ends in Him. 

Happy Resurrection Day!
