We had a great day last Sunday, Easter.
In the Morning Service, the children of our Sunday School presented a program about the Empty Tomb. They did a great job in making the Resurrection of Christ a reality for us. What a blessing it is to meditate on the truth of Christ’s Resurrection. What does His resurrection guarantee us?
1. That He is the Son of God.
Romans 1:4 Vs. 3 speaks of God’s Son, “Jesus Christ our Lord.” Then vs. 4 states that He is “declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:”
2. That He justifies sinners who believe in Christ.
Romans 4:25 “Who was delivered for our offences (that was the result of the crucifixion), and was raised again for our justification.” The note on this verse in the Scofield Bible reads: “…That He was raised and exalted to God’s right hand, ‘now to appear in the presence of God for us’ (Hebrews 9:24), is the token that our sins are gone, that His work for us has the Divine approbation and that we, for whom He suffered, are completely justified.”
3. That there will be a judgment day.
Acts 17:31 “Because He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man Whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hat raised Him from the dead.”
Last Sunday morning I preached on John 11:25-26 where we read that Christ said: “I am the resurrection and the life…” I really did not get very far in teaching those verses. So I have decided to spend more time preaching on John 11. Next Sunday I will again be in the same chapter going into more depth in John 11. What a great chapter of the Bible is John 11! !
Last Sunday night Pastor Josh preached a great message from Ephesians 1. The last verse of Ephesians 1 states that the Church is “His body, the fullness of Him that filleth all in all.” What a privilege it is to be part of a local Church living for the Lord and thus serving Him.
Let me encourage you to be back with us again next Sunday for a great day in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Also let me request that you pray for the Dan Brock family who live in Littleton. Dan has been the Administrator of Silver State Christian School They are right now undergoing a severe trial. We must pray that God will bless and that His will will be done. Pray also for Jan Waters n our church tat God will perform His will in her body as she deals with cancer. We are going to miss Dave and Shirley Ater who have gone back eat to help their family there.
