We are fast approaching the holiday season, with all of its warm thoughts and friendly smiles. All around the world, people are immersing themselves in the spirit of the season. I wanted to send you and your family my best wishes during this time.
We both know that Christmas is more than just a holiday; it is a holy day. It is a time when we are most reminded of God’s gift to the world of his only son, the Christ child, to raise us up out of our condition into Grace. I know that with all of the shopping and cooking and merriment, our most important priority as Christians can be unintentionally obscured. It is important to remember the story of our Savior’s birth in order to regain clarity.
What a wonderful time of year it is as we dedicate time to remember once again the wonderful Resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
Without the Resurrection, you and I would have no reason to rejoice or celebrate. Without it, we would be no different from many other religions of the world who remember their leaders with devotion and dedication, yet who do not have the power to change their hearts.
Spring is in the air and flowers are blooming, birds are singing, and the buds are opening to display the beauty of God's wonderful creation.
We are nearing that wonderful time of the year when we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
When we take a few moments to pause and think about all He's done for us, we realize that those few moments could easily turn into hours, days, weeks and years of just amazing God has been. God the Father gave the Son, and Jesus the Son gave His life, AND the presence of the Holy Spirit as we live in these challenging days.
I write briefly to thank you for visiting First Christian Church this past Sunday for our Easter Services and celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
It is always an exciting time of the year as spring is presenting us with blooming flowers, blossoming trees, and the singing of the birds.
I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation to you for attending Easter Service this past Sunday here at First Christian Church with your mother, __________ _____________.
