Happy Easter!

I hope everybody had a great Easter. This is one of the most sacred days on the Christian calendar, along with Christmas. I find it fascinating that the Russian word for Sunday is Воскресение, which, literally, means “Resurrection”.

The Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 15:14 that if there had not been a resurrection of Jesus Christ, then our faith would be in vain. We take great comfort knowing that the tomb is indeed empty. He left the tomb, ministered to His disciples, was seen by 500 witnesses and, 40 days later, ascended up to heaven.

And someday, He’ll return. Ever so, come quickly, Lord Jesus.
