Today is Good Friday. This is the day we remember Jesus dying on a cross. This Sunday is Easter. It is the day we celebrate the resurrection of Christ. The death and resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of our faith. Through his death we were set free from sin. By that I mean the penalty of our sins have been paid for. We have been set free from the penalty, power, and presence of sin. The resurrection assures us of life after death. Jesus is a type of first fruits. Because he rose again, we will rise again. He provided the way. Those of us that have put their faith in Jesus, have the assurance of eternal life and heaven. Death has been defeated. We have the blessed hope of spending eternity with Jesus. This is a great season for the church. This Sunday I will preach on the power of the cross and we will celebrate communion together. It is going to be a wonderful day. I encourage you to celebrate Easter in a Spirit-filled, Bible- believing church.
