verse of the day

The greatest day ( 1 Corinthians 15 )

 Richard Nixon  got carried away with excitement in 1969  when Apollo astronauts first landed on the moon. ''  It's the greatest  day since Creation '' crowed the president , until Billy Graham solemnly  reminded him of Christmas and Easter .  Both those events ,brought to this earth hope,  in a world were sin is obvious, and it's terrible consequences, sin and death.  Christmas and Easter  proclaimed  God's answer to both these plagues  ,the only answer  for the plague of sin could only come from God, that answer was Jesus death on a cross.  

                                                      O, wonder of all wonders ,

                                                      That through Thy death for me,

                                                      My open sins, my secret sins,

                                                      Can all  forgiven be    ( Word by  K. N. Kelly) 

What about that other plague  death?, we have all been reminded of  that plague ,before the awful virus struck ,death was the unmentionable, not now, its in our face, I write this with great sadness .Is  that all we have to look forward to? ,  no, consider the words of Jesus,'' I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me will live, even though they die''.  ( John 11 v 25 ) 

                                  May the Lord bless you all on this Christmas day.
