AFTER THE DARKEST NIGHT

Sunrise!

Come - celebrate the glorious Light of His Presence.

Darkness must flee where Jesus Christ is King!

Other ‘saviors’ lie stone cold in their final resting place.

Christ Jesus arose triumphantly! Come worship, rejoice and sing!



He died!

The One who died once and for all mankind on the cross,

Shed His precious blood to cover all of my sin and shame.

I’ve been redeemed, made His own! Oh, what an awesome love!

He died also for you. Come; call on His Name.



He lives!

The tomb is empty. The angels declare, “Do not be afraid.

He is not here; for He has been raised.”

Come, see the place where He lay.”

With fear and joy they told everyone. 

God, in Heaven be praised!



He will return!

This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven,

Will return in the same way as you saw Him go.

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations.

Christ will return, but exactly when, we don’t know.



But until then,

Be salt and light. Seek peace and pursue it.

Turn from evil! Do good. Show others The Way.

Honor everyone. Love each other deeply and from the heart.

Fight the good fight of faith, until that very day.

A BLESSED EASTER TO YOU ALL!
