Happy, Glorious Easter

Today represents the day God’s plan for our salvation was finalized! It’s not the day Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the day John the Baptist baptized Jesus, or the day He was crucified on a cross, but the day He overcame death and arose! I hope you know this and have trusted your eternity to Him. If you have, you have a wonderful home prepared and waiting for you when your life on earth is over. You will live in the presence of Jesus forever. If not, your eternity will be eternal punishment. Eternity is a long time! Today is a celebration of what Jesus did and what you have had the opportunity to do to choose your eternity. If you haven’t done so, this is a great day to make that decision.

Read the Bible – Joshua 7-8, Eccl. 4:7-16, &John 7.

Don’t forget that today is the day to choose your eternity!
