Easter Glory

What an amazing day to be alive! To hear the wonders of Jesus' miraculous resurrection, to worship freely with uplifted hands singing These are the Days of Elijah! Oh, how I love that song!

Days Of Elijah

These are the days of Elijah,
Declaring the word of the Lord:
And these are the days of Your servant Moses,
Righteousness being restored.
And though these are days of great trial,
Of famine and darkness and sword,
Still, we are the voice in the desert crying
'Prepare ye the way of the Lord!'

Behold He comes riding on the clouds,
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call;
Lift your voice, it's the year of jubilee,
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes.

These are the days of Ezekiel,
The dry bones becoming as flesh;
And these are the days of Your servant David,
Rebuilding a temple of praise.
These are the days of the harvest,
The fields are as white in Your world,
And we are the labourers in Your vineyard,
Declaring the word of the Lord!

There's no God like Jehovah.
There's no God like Jehovah!

and then to see the glory of God manifest in creation all the way home...

I love you, Lord, and I lift my voice declaring..
You are God, mighty in glory, and worthy of all praise!!

HE IS RISEN

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the very heart of Christianity. In 1 Corinthians 15 St. Paul reasoned, "If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. . . .We are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead." In that same chapter he says "If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen sleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men." But then Paul triumphantly declares, "But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep" (1 Cor. 15:14-20).

He is not here! He is risen, indeed!

Alleluia!

I miss Dr. D. James Kennedy so much. What a marvelous expositor of the Word and a watchman on the wall for this nation.

These are some points of one of his Resurrection Sunday sermons.

The resurrection is a message of hope.
The church was built upon the message of an empty tomb.
The resurrection is a message of love.
It is an unspeakable love that God should send his son to die for us.

The resurrection is a message of grace.
The wages of sin were paid in full with the blood of Christ.
Conclusion:
You can experience a spiritual resurrection.
Those who trust in Christ shall never die.
