More glorious words have not been spoken!  It is great news that He died on the cross to pay the price for our sins, but without the resurrection, we would be as the apostle Paul said, “Above men most miserable.”

As we approach April 4th, the day we celebrate Christ’s resurrection from the grave, let us remember that because He conquered the grave we can have victory over the grave.  Life on the earth can be difficult, and it can often seem as if there is no way to win.  No matter what situation you are facing, it is good to remember that there is Someone who has faced the impossible and Who has gone before us and conquered the impossible.

As many will be gathering at churches this Easter, some will go to fulfill an obligation they feel to be in church, and others will go to appease their conscience.  Let us remember that the reason we should gather that day and every Sunday is to celebrate Christ raising from the dead and to celebrate and lift up the name of Jesus so that all men may be drawn unto Him.

As we grow closer to that day, let us be mindful of what Christ has already done for us and how we can share Christ with our neighbors and others whom God brings across our path.
