Some have died for this belief. Many have found a joy that goes beyond understanding. Logic can only take you so far. Faith takes you the rest of the way. Faith is something I can't fully explain because it is ultimately a gift of God.
Life becomes full because death means nothing.
For those of you who find it hard believing, for those of you who need your faith renewed, for those of you who need to be strengthened so that you can share this word with others, the chancel rail will be opened for prayer during the closing hymn. Come as you feel led. And you who believe even a little bit, ask God to help your unbelief.
