The Day before Easter

Sorry it’s been a few days. We’ve just finished a two week missions seminar. We’ve had folks in from Scotland, Africa, Indonesia, Australia, Romania amd pastors from many states here in North Little Rock and I’ve been busier than Grumpy’s barber, but it was a good seminar.

Sunday is Easter, in my mind the most important day in the history of the world. Why you ask? (and even if you didn’t) ...

Let me put it this way. You can go to Egypt and see where the Pharoahs were laid. You can go to the tomb of Confusious, to Muhammeds, and everyone else in whose name a religion was formed...with one exception.

There is a hill in Jerusalem, called Golgotha, the place of the skull, where my Jesus and two criminals were crucified, just down the way there is a tomb owned by one Joseph of Arimathea where Jesus was buried, BUT Jesus only used that tomb for three days and then AROSE! victorious over sin, death, hell and the grave.

Those of us who dwell in Jesus need not fear any of the things He has defeated. What a hero, what a savior!

If you don’t dwell in Christ, or if your don’t know if you do or not, why not make this Easter even more personally significant...talk to me, or Orval, or Big Ack, or Lynn, or Jack. We’ll be happy to share!!!

Happy Easter everybody and hey, after you’ve bitten the ears off your chocolate bunny...why not go to church to celebrate! I know where there’s a good one and we’re open on Sunday!
