Resurrection Sunday
This Sunday is one of the days out of the year that folks go to church. Our church will celebrate the day with several different activities meant to remind us of the significance of the resurrection. Some of our members will meet early for a sunrise service, we will have a special treasure hunt for the kids, and we will observe the Lord's Supper. In the evening service, we will enjoy a dramatic presentation.
For those who are believers, we worship together on Sunday's because of the resurrection. There is a sense in which every Sunday is special. The early church gathered on the first day of the week. This Sunday is special, but every Sunday is special. If people come to church on a special day, we will be happy to share the truth of Jesus with them. If folks come just because it is a special day, to satisfy their consciences, they will be missing the real meaning of the resurrection.
As you celebrate Easter this year, make sure that the resurrection is what it is all about. Next Sunday, make still all about the resurrection. If Christ be not raised from the dead, our faith is in vain.
