"There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success." - George Burton Adams

EASTER: 'DO' or 'DONE'?

"There they crucified him" (Luke 23:33)

He is not here; he has risen!" (Luke 24:6)

"After He finished the sacrifice for sins, the Son (Jesus) took His honored place high in the heavens right alongside God" (Heb 1:3-4 ­-MSG)

I have a book, which lists an innumerable litany of world religions, all of which teach and detail that we must, 'DO' something to earn our way into the next world. That's where Christianity stands alone. With our thoughts on Easter, and focused on what God's Son Jesus Christ did for mankind at the cross and the empty tomb, isn't it good to know that each one of us who will believe in Him and accept his finished work of eternal salvation can add two more letters to the word 'Do', an 'N' and an 'E' "Nothing Else"? For nothing else is needed, Jesus did it, and it's DONE, once, for all, and forever!

And as good as that news is, it doesn't stop there for when we accept Jesus as our Savior and Lord, it doesn't just give us a ticket to Heaven, God also adopts us as one of his very own children.

"(We) are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus." (Gal 3:26 ­­-NLT)

Truly amazing! And there's even more! Listen.

"This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It's adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike "What's next, Papa?" God's Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who he is, and we know who we are: Father and children. And we know we are going to get what's coming to us - an unbelievable inheritance! We go through exactly what Christ goes through. If we go through the hard times with him, then we're certainly going to go through the good times with him!" (Rom 8: 15- 17 ­-MSG)

Yes, Easter can be spelled D-O-N-E. For when Jesus walked out of that tomb the 'work' was forever finished, with death and hell forever defeated. And all who will believe in Him and accept Him as their Lord and Savior, walked out of that dead man's tomb with Him on that first Easter morning, and into an eternal life with Him, which he promises to all who will accept it.

"My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." (Gal 2:20 ­-NLT)

Perhaps you would like to accept the gift of God's Son, or rededicate your life to Him this Easter season. For help in doing so, click here.. Luke 1:37

URGENT: KENYA UPDATE!
Construction of the Grace Christian Mission Hospital wall has been delayed, but the need remains immediate!

Unrest following the recent national elections in Kenya has caused a temporary delay in the start of construction that was scheduled for this month.
