April Grapevine

“We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over Him.” (Romans 6:9)

This year, on April 20th, we will remember and celebrate the greatest day in the history of the human race…the day that Jesus Christ rose bodily from the dead, never to die again! Our strongest enemy, death, has been soundly defeated! The grave has no terror for the Christian. When Jesus returns, or when we die, in either case, we will be homeward bound! In glory, there is no more death, mourning, crying or pain…the old order of things has passed away! All of God’s people, and Jesus Himself, will be waiting for us with open arms!


Thanks be to God Who has rescued us in Christ!


“He lives and grants me daily breath;
He lives and I shall conquer death;
He lives and my mansion to prepare;
He lives to bring me safely there.”
(Lutheran Service Book #461, verse 7)


Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!

– Pastor Russ
