Worship As A Lifestyle

Because He lives I can face tomorrow; because He lives,

all fear is gone.Because I know, He holds the (my) future,

and life is worth the living just because He lives.

Gloria and William Gaither

Uncertainty seems to be the word of the day lately. The stock market is on a roller coaster. Our political situation is in a word, scary. Many people are losing their jobs, homes and marriages in record numbers and you never know when the doctor will sit you down and say, “I have bad news for you”.

On a weekend just over two thousand years ago, uncertainty also filled the air as hundreds of Jesus’ followers stood stunned. Their Lord, their master, their King was dead; crucified on a cross made for criminals. What had He meant when He said that the Temple would be destroyed and would be built back up in three days? Wasn’t he the promised Messiah? Were all of the miracles that He performed tricks? How could the Son of God be dead?

During a moment in history that solidified every other moment in the past, present and future, on a very special Sunday morning, a borrowed tomb opened and Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Savior of the world walked out a risen King! Death had been conquered. Access to God the Father had been made available and eternal live for many had been secured.

The Lord of creation who stepped out of the tomb on the very first Easter Sunday, is alive today and offer you the hope, not only of eternal salvation, but of a life of peace, joy and fellowship. Today, the invitation stands: “Call on the name of the Lord Jesus and you will be saved!” (Acts 2:21) Because God loved you so much that He gave His only Son and if you believe in Him you will not perish, rather you will have not only eternal life (John 3:16), but you will have an abundant life (John 10:10).

Happy Easter! He is risen, He is risen indeed!
