“Christ is Risen!”
I have preached more funeral services over the past 3 months than I have in a very long time.
The ages of the deceased range from a preborn baby to a 99 1⁄2 year-old lady. Each service has
featured sadness and singing, grief and God’s Word. And each service has also had a large
dose of hope.
The hope provided comes from the fact that Jesus Christ is risen...He is risen indeed!
At Easter, we celebrate and commemorate the sacrificial death of our Lord on the cross of
Calvary and His glorious resurrection from a borrowed tomb. People who confess with their
mouths the Lord Jesus and believe in their hearts that God has raised Him from the dead shall
be saved. Because of this, we have a hope that is steadfast and sure that those who know
Christ, though they die, live on in Glory!
There is nothing so outstanding, so heart-uplifting, so joyfully-marvelous than having a true and
living hope that lasts beyond the grave. Let us celebrate this Easter like never before and let us
keep doing so until Christ returns or calls us Home!
Praising Jesus with You,
Bro. Matt
