Infallible Proofs

Body
The Easter weekend is upon us. For the Christian, Easter is the time in which believers in Jesus Christ celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave. We sing the chorus, “Up from the grave He arose! With a mighty triumph o’er His foes. He arose a victor from the dark domain, and He lives forever with His saints to reign. He arose! He arose! Hallelujah, Christ arose!” Well, then, let me ask you a question? If He arose from the grave, wouldn’t that mean that He first had to die? Of course it would! Yet, there are people today who believe that He never arose from the grave, nor do they believe that He ever died. However, there are infallible proofs from the Bible that Jesus did both! He died, and He died for our sins, and He arose, He arose to give us the assurance that we too will arise from our grave to live with Him in His Kingdom.

A bird’s eye view of the outdoors

This past week, I had the opportunity to join a few good friends and observe what the hawk or buzzard sees every day, all while setting around a campfire in the company of great friends, eating a dinner of grilled chicken with all the trimmings and enjoying what possibly might one of the last cool evenings of the season.
