Quarterly Newsletter from Our Pastor
Dated: March 2024
Greeting in the name of the our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
Spring is on the way! It serves as a reminder of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which secured eternal life for all believers.
The most important event in Christian history was when Jesus Christ vacated that tomb, which supposedly was a place of victory for Satan. This crucified Jesus was put away with the intent of never being heard from again. But we know the rest of the story.
In Revelation 1:18, Jesus says, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”
Jesus did just what He promised his disciples He would do. So this is the time of year to celebrate Jesus’ coming out of that tomb alive as we see God’s creation coming back to life all around us.
It’s a time to celebrate the gospel: the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
It’s a time to remind us and celebrate what Christ did for mankind. Just as we watch and wait for spring to arrive, we also watch and celebrate the resurrection of Christ each year.
It is our reminder that we will one day celebrate eternal life with Christ.
Spring is one of the many ways God reveals himself to us. God knew mankind needed spring to feel the completion of a growing life.
So, as we enter this new season of renewal, we must challenge ourselves: Are our roots planted deep in the foundation of the Lord depending upon Him to grow and renew us day by day?
Happy Spring and Happy Resurrection Day!
Rev. James Ellis, Pastor
