APRIL THEME: Share Every Day

A family was watching a movie on TV one night called "The Greatest Story Ever Told". All through the movie, one of the children was completely enthralled with what she saw. Toward the end, as Jesus struggled under the weight of the cross, tears were rolling down her cheeks. She was absolutely silent and still, until Jesus was taken down from the cross and laid in a tomb. Then she turned to her parents, smiled, and said: "Now comes the GOOD part!"

Yes, now comes the good part! The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the good part of the story. It’s the good part of the story because:
It's in the resurrection of Jesus that we have our faith.
It's in the resurrection that we have our hope.
It's in the resurrection that we have the promise of forgiveness and a new life.
It’s in the resurrection of Jesus Christ that we are who we are. And it’s because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ that we have so much to offer the world.

In Romans 6:4 Paul wrote, "We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”

No other religion offers this kind of hope. He is risen, He is risen indeed! Go tell everyone you know!
