Pastor’s Message
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him,” John 3:16.
That verse tells the story of Resurrection Sunday, or Easter, and what it means for anyone that takes the story to heart.
Jesus came to the world. He testified of his father and spoke of love to any that would hear. He was crucified and died on a wooden cross, to take away the sins of all. He then rose up from the grave, that the world might be saved through him and have eternal life.
Afterwards Jesus told his disciple Thomas, “Is it because you’ve seen me that you have believed? How blessed are those who have never seen me and yet have believed.”
May everyone be blessed this year by drawing closer to the perfector of the faith, the living Jesus.
