    A great Easter message.

    We can only try to imagine the sorrow that gripped the hearts of the followers of Christ that weekend. Their Master had died. The miracle worker. The blind eye, deaf ear, lame limb healer. The Teacher of truth, the Prince of power, laid still in a cold, dark tomb. It shouldn’t have surprised them. ...read more

Matthew 28:1 actually says it was, "the end of the sabbath...," somewhere between 3 and 6 a.m. And whether you ...read more
