Today is the day we celebrate the resurrection. Jesus was tortured and killed on a cross, but that is not the end of the story. On the morning of the third day, some people were on the way to the tomb expecting to see Jesus’ dead body. Instead they were surprised to find that Jesus was no longer dead. Jesus had conquered death! Now when we place our faith in Him, we too can conquer death through him.
. . .to read the story go to Mark 16.
HAPPY EASTER!

There are numerous religions in the world. There are millions of gods. But there is only ONE true God! As I celebrate Easter today I am reminded that there is proof that what I believe is true. Jesus told his followers that He was going to die and that He would rise again. They did not understand what He was saying and they were not ready for His death and unaware that He would defeat death by raising from the dead.
Today as Jesus followers went to His grave to perform the normal ceremonies on Jesus body they were surprised to find the body missing. Unaware what was going on, the angels gave the world the news that has changed my life as well as millions of others. The good news that Jesus Christ is alive. Matthew 28:5-6 (hold cursor over reference) tells of that great story. The Good News is not only that Jesus rose from the dead, but that He did this so that my sins can be forgiven.
What will you be doing to celebrate Easter? I am going to relax and enjoy the family and thank God for His love? There is some sadness because NASCAR is not racing this week!
