“I love to tell the story, ’tis pleasant
to repeat,
What seems each time I tell it more wonderfully sweet;
I love to tell the story, for some have never heard
The message of salvation from God’s own holy Word.”
What seems each time I tell it more wonderfully sweet;
I love to tell the story, for some have never heard
The message of salvation from God’s own holy Word.”
I’m
reminded that every Bible story, regardless of how familiar, needs to be told
and retold. At the empty tomb, “The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid,
for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He
is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he
lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen
from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’
Now I have told you (Matt 28:5-7 NIV).”

Gail;
-----Ahhh. You should have come to church with Char and me! We heard all sermon long about how nowhere we would be if Jesus’ tomb were not empty. We heard about how the tomb is empty or we are liars. How it is empty or our lives are dead, despairing wisps in choppy winds. We even heard how we know the tomb was found empty one morning two-thousand years ago in spite of the facetious claims that the resurrection was a myth. It was good.
Love you all,
Steve Corey
