Hope Is Worth More Than Five Minutes

Today is Easter Sunday. For Christians, this is THE Celebration---the Christian Super Bowl (as borrowed from our youth pastor). Without Easter there is NO hope. Without resurrection there is no anticipation for tomorrow, let alone eternity. The significance of hope found in the fact that our Lord is no longer dead, is worth more than five minutes on an Easter Sunday isn't it? It should not only be a portion of the message – it is paramount to the entire message for us today.

Christ IS risen and because of that fact, we are invited into a personal relationship with Him…
Because He has risen, we anticipate eternal life…
Because He has risen, we are victorious over life’s tragedies…
Because He has risen, His glory is found in our trials…
Because He has risen, we never face life alone…
Because He has risen, we are granted peace…

Yes, the message of resurrection is what this world needs to hear, and is absolutely worth more than five minutes on Easter Sunday.

He is risen-----risen indeed.

This I know for sure...
