I hope you all had a blessed Easter. Helen and I returned from visiting our family in Iowa City. God blessed the Hawkeyes. The recent tornados missed the revered Kinnic stadium! We were bless with a wonderful time of worship at the Iowa City Church of Christ where son Tom is the preacher. And, we had some real quality time with Alex and Samantha, our grand children, and Suzi, our beautiful daughter in law. Son Paul, of Paul's Ponderings, has moved to Iowa City and will be teaching a Sunday school class at the church.
What does the resurrection of Jesus mean? The resurrection transformed the lives of the witnesses. They were willing to die for what they saw--they would not change their testimony! The witnesses knew what it meant! It means that Jesus is who he said he was, "I am the way--and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). It means that what Jesus says is true. As he told John in Revelation 21:5, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." It means that God has the last Word, ". . . that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" (Philippians 2:10-11).
Now what will you do?
Grace & Peace;
Tom
