Easter Sunday at Water of Life Fellowship is always special. It is impossible to capture in a recording or even in pictures. You will have to be sure to join us sometime! Maybe next year? Plan to join us if you can! Here is a snippet from the day:
Isn’t it spectacular to realize the rejoicing of their hearts that day? You have heard echoes of that same rejoicing still ringing in our hearts over two thousand years later! It is the song of the redeemed! “The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up (Matthew 4:16).” Jesus is the light of the world and He shattered the darkness of sin, death, and despair that wonderful Easter morning so long ago. He shattered it forever! “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life (John 8:12).”
Jesus came, “Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace (Luke 1:78-79).”
“All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men (John 1:3-4).”
“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6).”
“…ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: (1 Peter 2:9).”
Is your heart bound in darkness today? You can be set free by His light! Is your life captive to despair? You can discover His Joy! Is death fearsome to you? You need no longer fear. He has conquered death too! This is why we no longer sit in darkness but rejoice in the light! “…if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John 1:7).” This is the Gospel – the Good News – of the Cross and the Resurrection: that we can leave the darkness and walk in the light with Him. Today, we celebrate His Light and Life! He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!
