Dear Friends,
Consider the following quotes for reflection:
- Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime. Martin Luther
- The Gospels do not explain the Resurrection; the Resurrection explains the Gospels. Belief in the Resurrection is not an appendage to the Christian faith; it is the Christian faith." John S. Whale
- Jesus is risen! He shall the world restore! Awake, ye dead! Dull sinners, sleep no more! John Wesley
Christ's Resurrection is the best news! Tell others of this joy and bring them with you to worship as we celebrate and worship the Risen Lord this Easter!
With Joy, Pastor Yim
