There is a church in the town where my son lives, and the sign out front this week says, “Silly Rabbit, Easter is About Jesus!” This is an amusing reference to the old TV commercial about Trix cereal being for kids, but it’s a good reminder. We consume jellybeans and buy stuffed bunnies, but Easter means much more.
The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for our sin are the center of the Christian life and faith. One of my favorite hymns about the resurrection is “Christ Arose!” Written in 1874 by Pastor Robert Lowry, the song was inspired by Luke chapter 24, verses 5-8, especially the words of the angel at Jesus’ tomb: “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.” The hymn reminds me that Jesus’ resurrection purchased forgiveness and eternal life for me and everyone who trusts in Him.
The chorus ends, “He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!” Let’s worship and praise our Savior together this weekend.
Please take a few minutes to listen to “Christ Arose” sung by The Kingdom Quartet

Hi Ellen, thanks for reading!
Steve is doing better than we could’ve hoped for. PT is going well, and he does not even need a cane.
Will you be in Rockford for the Jonathan Wilburn concert Friday?
