It Is Easter!

 Happy Easter to all my readers and followers! 

This week I have added a Salvation Message to my blog pages. It will be there for anyone who needs it. It is a permanent page so it will always be there. 

Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And you are witnesses of these things. Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”

(The Ascension) And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven. And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen. Luke 24:46-53

Praise God!

He Took My Place

A message I received from our Aunt Lois. She sends me such great things that cause me to really think. I hope this will cause you to really think too. Perfect for a Sunday post! Thank you, Aunt Lois!

"One day, a man went to visit a church; He got there early, parked his car and got out. Another car pulled up near the driver got out and said, Hey, I always park there! You took my place!" The visitor went inside for Sunday School, found an empty seat and sat down. A young lady from the church approached him and stated, "That's my seat! You took my place!" The visitor was somewhat distressed by this rude welcome, but said nothing.

After Sunday School, the visitor went into the sanctuary and sat down. Another member walked up to him and said, Hey you that is where I always sit! You took my place!" The visitor was even more troubled by this treatment, but still He said nothing.. Later as the congregation was praying for Christ to dwell among them, the visitor stood up, and his appearance began to change. Horrible scars became visible on his hands and on his sandaled feet. Someone from the congregation noticed him and called out, "What happened to you?" The visitor replied, as his hat became a crown of thorns, and a tear fell from his eye, "I took your place." "

Thank you, Jesus for taking my place!
