The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of the Christian faith.  Some have said, "If Christ is not raised from the dead, we still have fought a good fight."  That view is not the one proposed by the Apostle Paul.  He says “If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied" (1 Corinthians 15:19).   We base everything on the truth that Christ is alive.  God raised Him and He will raise us.   As Christians, we look forward to the resurrection.  Death has no power over us because Jesus Christ is living.  If Christ has not risen, brothers and sisters, there is no hope.

As we approach Resurrection Sunday, invite a friend to come and experience the good news of resurrection.  We have this hope in us, so let us share it with friends and neighbors who may not be experiencing the same hope.  People are very sensitive to spiritual matters around Easter.  The Holy Spirit will honor our effort in engaging our friends and family in coming to the Lord’s house.  May God bless you as you live out the hope of resurrection by bringing others with you.

In Christ,

Pastor Jason
