This Sunday is such a special day. It is Easter, a celebration of hope for all who believe. For the Christ-follower, it is the event on which our faith rests. Paul wrote, "if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, your faith also is vain." 

The beautiful truth is that He has been raised! Death has been defeated, victory has been obtained. And this truth is what sustains us in the darkest times, fills us with joy in times of celebration, and reminds of the awesome power of the King we serve. I pray that this week has been about more than getting a new dress, buying some candy, or enjoying a Friday off of school; I pray that it has become a sacred time of remembrance and reflection. After all, there would be no Easter without the Cross and there would be no life without death.

Make it a proiority to be at church on Sunday, gathering with other believers and celebrating the Risen Lord!
