Wayne's Words

 

This Sunday is Palm Sunday. Naturally, that means the following Sunday will be EASTER! What a WONDERFUL day Easter is, for it is the day “Jesus was declared to be the Son of God WITH POWER by the resurrection from the dead, according to the spirit of holiness…” Romans 1:4

With such a TREMENDOUS demonstration of His power, Jesus proved once for all the VALIDITY of His claims of being the great “I AM.” As Christians, this day should RESONATE within our very souls. WE should be the   HAPPIEST, most SECURE people on the face of the earth. Yet, too often we live as if the stone is still in front of the tomb.

The angels didn't roll away the stone to let Jesus out, but to let the disciples see in. Let’s live in the reality of THE EMPTY TOMB!

See you Sunday,

Pastor Wayne
