THE STORY

This is worth repeating...
My sister Thereas Allen sent this to me this morning and I don't know if I could have said it better myself.

The story... what is it about Easter that makes it the most significant event among Christians?
What is it about death, dying and suffering that is contrary to th miracle of victory. Jesus death was no end point in history, but it became the moment where He set us up to be delivered from our sins, trials and tribulations. Many of us are dead while we are alive and hope to be alive after we are dead. Death where is the sting, grave where is the victory. It was in the Resurrection. He got up with all power in his hand. As I encourage myself, I encourage you to avail yourself to the promises of the Resurrection, not only today, on this Easter Sunday, but for all the days of your life. Let's rise up and renew our faith in God's promises. Arise! Arise! Arise!
