For the follower of Christ, the reality of Christ's Resurrection is not an annual ritual of discovery, but a lifestyle. However, it's not that way for many in the world, or in the community around us. While for many Good Friday and Easter Sunday are about days off from work or school, and death by chocolate bunnies, peeps and a feast of ham with all the fixings, one thing remains undeniable: We are nearing the time of year when the whole world's attention becomes steered toward the Crucifixion, Death and Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Whether they believe it or not, there is no escaping the publicity. It's EVERYWHERE! What a GREAT time of year to invite people to church! Especially those with questions and doubts about the Gospels. How many have you invited?
Hey, this quote really cranks my tractor! It'll also appear in Sunday's meesage. Check it out:
"The Gospels do not explain the Resurrection; the Resurrection explains the Gospels. Belief in the Resurrection is not an appendage to the Christian faith; it IS the Christian faith." - Dr. John Seldon Whale
