He is Risen!
Well Happy Resurrection Sunday everyone! For I refuse to call this day Easter, since the word is derived from the Old English Eostre, meaning East and a Norman goddess of spring. How often does the modern culture and language creep in upon Holy ordinances? For now this great day in history is named after a Norman goddess of spring, we hunt colored eggs, eat tons of chocolate and worship some large rabbit as the gift-giver! Re-dunk-u-lous! Well, enough of my ranting, for we all know that the enemy will poison all that is good, especially the day when he was defeated forever! Hallelujah!
Well I don't have much to say on this day, for its too deep in my heart and inexpressible with words but I did read a sermon that made my heart rejoice even more greatly! And no, its not John Piper, John MacArthur or any other living pastor with a great standing for incredible sermons, it is Martin Luther, the bold champion of the faith that challenged the Catholic Church with his 95 theses. This sermon shows the power of the Resurrection well before I was born and how it was transforming people to be BOLD! If you have twenty minutes read this sermon!
Well, fellas and ladies, enjoy the rest of your Resurrection Sunday! I hope the sermon blesses
your heart like it did mine. I leave you with this statement about the Sabbath from the above
sermon:
"It signifies that we should rest from all works, should not stir, nay, should not allow any sin tostir within us, but we should firmly believe that death, hell, sin and the devil are destroyed bythe death of Christ, and we are righteous, pious, holy and therefore contented, experiencingno longer any sin."Enjoying the Victorious Life in Christ,Michael the Conqueror
