There's more!

On the first Easter morning, three women found an emptytomb. The discovery left them trembling and afraid. Theydidn’t know there was more — a resurrected Lord.

Later that day, the risen Jesus appeared. As happy as thedisciples were about this miracle, they didn’t yet know therewas more — a gift of the Holy Spirit that would make their joy complete.

Early Christians in Corinth were so delighted by the gift of baptism that they could scarcely imaginethere was more — the resurrection of the body to eternal life.

As great as Easter is, it’s only the “first fruits” of what lies ahead. Celebrate the fact that Christ is

risen, but remember that the best is yet to come!

Tomb, thou shalt not hold him longer;Death is strong, but Life is stronger;Stronger than the dark, the light;

Stronger than the wrong, the right;Faith and Hope triumphant say,Christ will rise on Easter Day.
