Christ Arose, Part Two -- Rejoice, Rejoice, O Christian!

The good news of Easter is, not only can you know Jesus, but he can be close to you all the time, through every situation. The risen Lord offers to share his victory with you, to take you through whatever you must face as your close and competent Companion who will never, never leave you.

Some of you have to face very serious problems this week. Some confront what looks like the end of their hopes and dreams. Fears and anxieties, loneliness, emptiness, heartache and sorrow are before them. But the good news of Easter is, you don't have to face any of that alone.

Listen to Jesus' exact words, from Revelation 3:20:

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any one hear my voice, and open the door, I will come into him and will live with him and he with me."

That is the promise that millions have trusted. They have asked Jesus to enter their lives, to come and dwell with them, to go with them through life, not only through death. To their joy they found that every word was true. They can face tomorrow because He lives. And that strength is available to each one of us today. That is what makes this day a celebration of the resurrection, and a time for the greatest rejoicing.
Do you love God? Is Jesus Christ Your Lord and Savior? Is He the Lord of your life, not just on Sunday morning but on every day and night of the week? Is so, then enjoy this beautiful bright festival of the Resurrection of our Lord!

Are you His grateful servant?

Then rejoice and enter into the joy of their Lord!

Have you worked hard in the fields of our Lord doing good deeds, helping the poor, the hurting, the lonely? Then rejoice and receive you’re the blessing He won for you on the cross!  Praise His Holy Name!
