this day divides all of human history into two epochs, just as it divides men's lives into two parts.

It has mine, and countless millions besides.

I can tell you about it, but I can't make you know its power for yourself.

Just know this. There is an empty tomb back there men have been trying to explain away, or have celebrated, for 2,000 years now. We just can't seem to get over it.

Happy Easter, all.

 

[Grits]

Amen

 

[Amp Mangum]

Happy Easter, HE is risen!

 

[fieldgrade]

Amen, indeed. God bless all my brothers and sisters here at CSC.

 

[BigWaylon]

Happy Easter, HE is risen!

He is Risen indeed.

[RFMan]

He is Risen indeed.

Alleluia, alleluia!!!

There is an empty tomb back there men have been trying to explain away, or have celebrated, for 2,000 years now.

There will come a day when every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, and then the controversy will be no more.

 

[BigWaylon]

There will come a day when every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, and then the controversy will be no more.

The passage I taught from today...

Phillipians 2:5-11 (ESV)

"Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

We also referenced the two verses prior to that passage...

"Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others."
(‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:3-4‬ ‭ESV‬‬)

Follow those two, and think of what the world would be like. Over half of the 10 Commandents would almost become unnecessary.
