Sunday Words of Encouragement April 4, 2021 Happy Ressurection Day!

Our church celebrated three baptisms this morning. Then Pastor shared his Easter message of Celebration. 

Happy Resurrection Day eCard - Free Easter Cards Online
Celebration of new lives; celebration of secured lives. We Celebrate Jesus!
Jesus left the tomb without the captive.
Now we share in the celebration of the gift of salvation, not the Easter bunny.
The Good News was shared in all four gospels by the Apostles, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
They witnessed this event in person!

If Jesus had stayed in the tomb, His story would be over.  But here is the story:
John 19 and 20:1-18.

Jesus proclaimed: “It is Finished.” John 19:30.
Angels from Heaven said “Dear woman…” John 20:13. Jesus said to Mary: “Dear woman…” John 20:15.
Who is He calling today? “Dear woman” “Dear man” “Dear Child” He is calling each one. He is calling you!

You have a choice: return to the old promises of ashes to ashes with nothing more. Or choose the promise of the empty grave; choose the resurrected life!
Proclaim for yourself: “It is finished!” The work may not be complete in you yet, but the old life is finished, and you have a hope and a future. Celebrate in the Risen Lord!

I found this beautiful song video today. "It Was Finished Upon the Cross"
Verses for Today:
John 19:30
30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
John 20:17
17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
