An Easter Prayer — Almighty God, our Father, who art not the God of the dead but of the living, we give Thee joyful thanks this Easter morn for him who is the Resurrection and the Life. We believe in him, in the beauty of his character, and in the triumph of his spirit. Grant that in this sacred hour we may grow aware of him, not as far-off, blessed memory, but as out eternal Friend and Master who was dead and is alive forevermore. By the power of his resurrection may we rise out of selfishness and sin into a diviner fellowship with Thyself. Lead us in our worshiping this day, and hear us as we pray the prayer He taught us, saying, Our Father, who are in heaven . . . THE BETTER WAY Easter is a mighty symbol of the fact that love and unselfishness are- stronger than hate or greed. On a certain day, hate and greed did their worst. But the worst they could do was to destroy the I body in which a living spirit had. manifested its glory. And 10, when early in the morning of the First Day of the week some sorrowing women went to the sepulcher to anoint that broken body, they found that the loving spirit was still alive. Today, in the perspective of nineteen centuries, we can see that loving spirit was so much alive that "it was able to transform the moral climate of the world. Neither hate nor greed has been conquered. But steadily increasing is the number of men and women 'in every race and nation and class who realize that hate is weakness, and that greed is the very devil, and who, for their part, are determined to maintain a spirit of goodwill even toward their enemies, and to seek first, not their own private advantage, but the common good. CHURCH FORUM WHAT IS THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST? The real meaning of Easter is its emphasis on personal salvation and the redemption of the world. Christ was no Pretender and of all religions, he was the only Founder who died but rose again. There is something very personal about the Easter message since the Founder of Christianity gave each one of us a task, namely, the great commission. “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” In addition, one has the privilege of experiencing the presence of Christ if we accept the important task of doing all we can to redeem the world since Christ said, “Lo, I am with thee always even unto the end of the world.”

Our Preacher, Easter should be a heart-wash-ing time—a time to wash away the dirt of doubt and despair. Doubt is like the dark. A room can be dark either because the sun is not shining or because the windows are dirty. One can do nothing about the sun, but one can wash the windows. Easter should dispel our doubts and despair as we accept Christ’s promise, “He that believeth in me shall never die."

One of the church’s greatest tasks Is that of rolling stones from closed doors and bringing life to stricken men. God never works his miracles unless he enlists the help of others. We have to roll back many a stone from the door of the tomb before we know the glory and power of Christ. Our lack of self-control, our materialism, our selfishness, are all stones which must be removed before we can see and be blessed by the power of God through Christ. The church expounds the teachings of Christ, enabling us to give better direction to our lives that we may live more effectively, more abundantly, and be worthy of eternal life. WHY NOT ACCEPT THE INVITATION AND COME TO CHURCH ON EASTER SUNDAY?
