Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devotional AFTER EASTER WHAT? Rev. J. C. Parham, Pastor, Towaliga Baptist Church Herod felt that he was secure ow in his position as Jesus had een crucified. The Scribes and ’harisees were content be ause the One who had been ndermining their teachings ad been silenced by death. Tie disciples had returned to heir respective secular voca ions, feeling that the one they ad hoped was the Messiah had ow come to the close of his areer. - Defeat was theirs - ’o whom would they turn now? But then the glorious news, ‘He is risen.” (Matt. 28:6). Vhat a difference it made with lis followers. Death and the ;rave could not conquer their jord. They served a living Tirist. One who said “Lo, I am vith you always.” After Easter what? They vent out “to turn the world ipside down.” There was no loubt as to who this Jesus of Nazareth is. They knew He ■ould go with them where ever hey went. We, too, know He ives because “He lives within air hearts.” These early disciples could tot help but share the things hey had experienced with ithers. May we share Him with hose who know Him not as ong as we remain on earth, hen shall we go to be with rlim, for we shall be a glorified, spiritual body. Christ is the irst fruits of those who are esurrected. What’s our mission after Easter? To serve the living Christ through life with the lope of one day being raised vith Him to live with Him orever in heaven. The early first century Christians went out to take the vorld for Christ. Nothing could quench their faith - not even death itself. May that faith live m in us! Mr. Spruell Passes In Atlanta Mr. Willie Elmer Spruell, 85, father of H. G.
