As we are still a couple of weeks away from Easter of 2011, I have been thinking of a couple of thoughts that could serve to be themes, not only for our Maundy Thursday service and/or our Easter Services at Markham Street.
The themes that come to mind most during this time of year are death and hope.
For those who have been truly redeemed and rescued by the hound of heaven, may we live lives as people who have been rescued from death and actually do have a future that is secured in the hope of Jesus Christ. May we live as aliens on this earth and may be effort to bring others into the kingdom as the Lord moves among us...
May we have hearts that are concerned for the lost, but also, may we have hearts that yearn for revival and renewal of our churches and our people...We cannot offer the hope of the gospel to anyone if it is not a natural by-product of the hope being produced in our own lives...
As Matt Maher sings: "Chris is risen from the dead, Trampling over death by death...Come Awake....Our God's not dead, He's alive, He Alive !!"
HE is Risen, He is Risen Indeed !!!
