CHURCH COMPLETELY CANCELLED IN PEI ON EASTER SUNDAY!
THE LORDS WORD PREVAILS THROUGH THE SNOW STORM
This started out looking like the worst Easter of my life, but ended the best. First, Church got cancelled, then the Leafs lost their playoff spot. Really how could the day have gotten worse.
The thing is though, to be in recognition of this days true meaning, brought light in the darkness. I really felt that my mind was selfish in this day, especially thinking as I had been. What turned this day around is when those of us Maritime Christian College students, decided to hold Church just randomly, during the Hockey game.
At first I did'nt think they were serious, but they were. Attending was Katherine McLean, Laura & Valerie Osbourne, Sarah Harding, Robbie Sevilla, Rebecca Hankinson and myself. Lets not forget also, the Glory of God, which I believe proved to fill this place, which proves that Christians can worship at anytime. Robbie and Valerie led songs, Rebecca Hakinson did prayer. Then I prepared a sermon in fifteen minutes, which God definetly had a hand in. This sermon challenged my thinking and brought me to recognition of the truth about Easter.
My chosen scripture was from Matthew 12:32, which says
"God is not the God of the dead, but of the living"
Then the points of the sermon were the three most important things of easter, which are first the resurrection, second our faith in the resurrection and then third the triumph which comes from our Faith in the resurrection over the power of Sin, which is from Satan.
Something we must remember most about easter is that God has never gave up on us and He never will. God loves us and has given the means of triumph to us in Christ. If we shall accept this, what a glorious day it will be! When we join with Jesus one day in eternity.
All I have to say now is, "Oh How I Love my Hope in Jesus. Thank you God, for your Son" Amen.
