Celebrate Easter Sunday Reverently.
Easter Sunday is a symbol of the greatest day in the
year to the Christian nations of the world. On that day
we celebrate the Resurrection of Our Lord and Saviour
Jesus ( hrist.
Easter Sunday is a day which represents eterna life
to all. If it were not for this day there would he no hope
of meeting our loved ones who have gone on before. This
dav removes the dread of the grave and remembering this
day we can reverently lay awav our dead in the knowl

There would be no reward for the blameless life other than
that which one would receive in this world.
Easter assures US all that the life everlasting is not
onlv a dream but a certainty based upon undisputed facts,
As Christ arose from the dead on this day so shall we all

Easter should be a day of gladness. Celebrate it as
such but do not forget the day you are celebrating. Dress
up in your finest clothes, plan a trip to see your loved ones.
if you so desire, Make it a glad day but also make it a
reverent day.
Whether you remain home or visit your loved ones
make a point of attending the church of your choice_ and
joining in the joyous religious service you will find there.
If you must travel make it convenient to an n e at \ our des
tination in time for the Easter morning service nt your
Church. Easter is one day in all the year that all Christian
people should attend Church and reverently give thanks
for the life and death of Our Saviour.
We can see nothing to criticise in the desire to dress
up for Easter. Indeed, we think it is very befittng for we
are celebrating a day of joy to the world. True Chnstians
are joyous and happy. Ouis is not a ltligion ot '■'ailing

Too often we think of Easter as
just a day Which demonstrates the
immortality of the soul. But Easter
is the day which gives us the greatest
possible encouragement in the living
of a good life every day. It assures
us that God raised Jesus from the
dead because his life was approved
of God, and this carries with it the
glad message that if we seek to make
our lives approved of the Heavenly
Father in every way, we will share
Christ's resurrection. The promise oi

Sometimes people say that they
accept the teachings of Christ,
they feel that the resurrection

real consequence. This, of course,
variance with the teachings of
New Testament.
The early Apostles were glad

have not changed with the
centuries. It takes the full
gospel to bring about conversion;
and the full gospel includes, among
other things, an unwavering testi
mony on the part of disciples that
Christ is risen from the dead.
If we believe that God raised
Jesus from the dead and that his
resurrection means new life and
power for us here and now as well
as in eternity men will see the
beauty of Christian faith as it shines
forth in our lives and be constrained
to give their hearts to Christ,
Pentecost was a great day in the
history of our faith. On that day
the Christian Church was born. Men
who up to that time had believed
Jesus was a malfactor now saw the
light and praised God for it.
Jesus had been exalted by the
right hand of God, and men of
• were believing this under the power
of the Holy Spirit.
Peter assured his hearers that
after Jesus had ascended to heaven,
God had fulfilled his promise that
he would send the Holy Spirit upon
the disciples. Seated at the right
hand of God, Jesus was at that
moment performing a service for the
faithful, even greated than the
service he had performed when he
was in the flesh.

faithful Christians have, of the
present activity of the Lord Jesus,

comes the ever-insp.r.ng message
, ial Goos sp ,mual universe is n;-„
dead and static, but alive and vital.
Jesus Christ is not just a great
feacher who lived two thousand years
ago; he is the Saviour who dmd
*°r our sins and rose for our b °P e -
I But even greater than that, he is
the Advocate who at this very
moment in the unseen realm of the
I spirit carries cn a ceaseless activity
in our behalf.
On the day of Pentecost he poured
forth the Holy Spirit on a little group
of believers and constituted them
the Church.
To this very moment he is send
ing that same Holy Spirit on all who
believe in him.
We are to comfort our hearts
with a realization that Christ not
only wants us to be saved, but every
moment is doing something about
it. Jesus Christ loves us even though
sin has made our hearts hard and
has turned us so often away from
the doing of his will.
But the living Christ is ever
searching after us. He stands at the
door and knocks.
Risen from the coldness of the
grove, this exalted Lord of ours at
this very moment is exterting the
whole of his divine power that we
may be turned from our weak and
wicked ways and saved by his power
unto eternal life.
Easter is the greatest day in all
the Christian year. It tells us that
our Lord is still alive.
Because of this, God through him
is doing great things for our souls ;
right now; and if we are faithful,
we shall some day enter with joy
unspeakable into eternal life with
him.
