For The Love Of Life

"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me,  

though he may die, he shall live." - John 11:25 

Dear Loved One,

We tend to think of Easter as the commemoration of a great point in history, and that's a worthy reason for celebration. We also rejoice in anticipation of the resurrection unto eternal life ahead of us; a promise to all who open to the love of God in Jesus Christ. But there's also a present reality to be celebrated: Jesus rose from the dead, and He is alive forevermore. He's available right now to bring life to anything in your situation that may be dead or dying.

In my Easter message, For The Love of Life, we'll look at how the story of Lazarus from John 11 provides us with three guideposts for receiving the resurrection promise of Easter. Lazarus' sisters, Martha and Mary, sent a desperate message to our Lord:Our brother is sick. Knowing Lazarus would die if He delayed, Jesus didn't come when his sisters expected.

There's something bewildering to us when God doesn't show up according to our schedule, but that doesn't mean His character has changed. When Jesus tells Martha, "Your brother will rise again," He isn't talking about someday in Heaven. A greater miracle is on its way.

Will you join me this Easter in celebrating the resurrection promise and power in our lives and in every situation? Our ministry continues to depend on your prayers and financial partnership. Receive a CD of For The Love of Life for your donation this month, or select any of our other Special Offers as my personal thank you.

Dear one, today let's step out of whatever has been holding us in the grip of death and receive Easter's resurrection promise,

Pastor Jack
