Did You Hear the Good News?

There is delightful news I pray will be an encouragement to you!

Matthew, one of Jesus' disciples, shares these words about what happened three days after Jesus was crucified for our sin some 2,000 years ago:

"In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.  He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me." (Matthew 28:1-10)

Friend, Jesus is alive!

I pray that you will have a blessed day celebrating the truth of Jesus' resurrection! Death's grave, sin's grip, and Satan's power could not hold Jesus down.

Salvation is available to all, and we worship the Lord Who opened the door to Heaven for all who believe on Him! (John 3:16)

This year's Easter Offering will help us plant a new church in the Hammond, Louisiana. During Covid, more churches closed than ever before. We believe the hope of the world is Christ, and churches are specifically gifted and tasked to carry out this awesome mission. Would you like to be a part of reaching others through this endeavor?
