He is Risen!


"Jesus Christ truly claimed He would rise from the dead. Only a small handful of self-deceived men have ever even suggested they might actually rise physically from the dead & their claims were eventually proven false. No one in human history did what Jesus did. He repeatedly & publicly predicted His death & resurrection, not only giving the specific manner of His death, but also the specific day of His resurrection." -John Ankerberg

He is risen! He is risen indeed! Today Christians celebrate an event of history that changed everything. On that early morning more than 2,000 years ago, Jesus rose from the dead.

It was an event that no one expected. It had never happened before or since. It changed everything for the human race. Now, there are two events of history that prove that God loves us- the cross and the empty tomb. Soon he's coming back. Soon we will see him. It's future history, but it's as sure as the fact that he rose from the dead. I can't wait to see him...the one who died for me.

He is risen! He is risen indeed!

Miss you Mike. I can't wait to see him either. I bet he'll have a cup of coffee with us.

I wasn't aware it was 20000 years ago! ;-)

love you brother!

Very funny, thanks. I think I was getting too excited with the 0's. Thanks, Brandon.

Enjoyed the sunrise service this morning (even without the sun rise...).

Happy Easter, brother!
