Thanks, Greg, for sharing this (in the comments)!
I’d rather have Jesus than anything this world affords today…

Amen.
We really cannot explain how much better Jesus is because we don’t have that capacity and have a limited vocabulary. All we really can say is that He is better than anything we know or have or have seen. The only word left is, Amen.
Credit my daughter Kelsey with bringing it to my attention.
It reminded me immediately of the argumentation in Hebrews.
And strangely, some of these concepts found their way into my sermon this morning, Greg.
Have a blessed Resurrection Sunday!
That whole video is finding its way into my sermon next week when I start that “Follow” series…
Good stuff. Thank you.
Happy Easter Sunday to all you wonderful folks on SBC Voices.
Take away the music and add an invitation and we have a perfect sermon.
Christ is Risen Alleluia Found the following from Trevin Wax’s blog: “Let no one lament persistent failings, for forgiveness has risen from the grave. Let no one fear death, for the death of our Saviour has set us free. The Lord has destroyed death by enduring it. The Lord vanquished hell when he descended into it.

I hope you had a lovely Easter Sunday. 🙂

Alas! and did my Savior bleed, and did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head for such a worm as I? Easter was not a bright and shining time for me, though actually I celebrate Easter every Sunday and have reasons to give thanks for even that worldly holiday that at least brings a good crowd to church on one Lord’s Day. Many years ago my wife handed me a paper and said, “I think you had better read this.” It was a drawing with a written comment by our then eight year old son on the subject,… Read more »
