If that sounds strange to think moment those
who put Jesus death thought they getting rid of Him
in this world 1t did not matter to them He lived ON else
where; they wanted to put end to His power and nu-

But did the crucifXon do that? Our Lord was crucitied
and buried but the third day He from the dead
He is dead prophet but the Living Lord He IS not
figure out the past whose teachings still inspire us He IS
the Risen Lord enables sin and death ana
TO triumph with Him.
This is the source of Easter JOY The word OF Easter
5 this:
There is "A way to find meaning in the scattered details
Of our lives
There is a way through fear to faith.
There is a way to use suffering and sorrow for good
There is way learn that despite the appalling waste
human life nothing born of love- nothing good, is ever
wasted.
There is way to die daily to sin.
There is way to 80 pass through things temporal
that we finally lose not the things eternal
That way believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of the
living God worship Him, obey Him and serve Him as
Lord and Saviour When choose that and enter It,
