"That Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures."
1 Corinthians 15:4
"Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb...... But the angel answered and said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said...."Matthew 28:1,5-6
More than just a day... More than Mom's best dinner... More than Easter eggs... More than just a man... Easter is VICTORY! JESUS IS LORD! HE IS RISEN, AS HE SAID!
Crazy amazing, if you try to wrap your brain around it. How He could leave a throne in Heaven - could leave His Father only to have God turn his back to our sin on the cross - could leave the ministering, singing angels....... and come here. To a place they would spit on him, call him names, accuse him of horrible lies - and ultimately to a world where we would ignore Him. He knew that - and came anyway - for me - for you.
If you're in Granbury - come join us this week for Easter services.
Friday night at 7:00 pm: Lord's Supper service
Sunday morning at either 8:30 or 10:30 am: Easter service

Praying for all who read this - that your life be touched by the Easter message.
If you want to read more about it - check out the book of Matthew in chapters 26-28.

hey, i just read this, and its amazing. we are stuck in Philly...the plane crap is driving us crazy, so unfortunately we will not be coming home til 10 tomorrow. so as stressed as we all are, we decided that this morning God decided he didnt want us to come home because he shut down all of NY's subway stations...so we missed our flight and we couldnt leave til tomorrow....then we found a diff airline for tonight...and that got delayed so far that we wouldnt make our connecting flight, sooo...long story short, i wont be home til after lunch sometime tomorrow...if God permits. but i love you, and im sure we will be rejoicing and praising God and Christ for all they've done for us and are doing for us.
