Resurrection and Life

This Sunday at ElmCreek Community Church we will be looking at John 5:25-29.  In this passage Jesus explains that life is found in Him alone, for He is God and Judge of everyone.  But this life is not just something that all believers can look forward to.  It is life that can be experienced now.  And once this life is experienced there is no denying its reality for the believer.

Kent Hughes tells the following story:

“Years ago the great G. Campbell Morgan was preaching in Tennessee.  During the sermon he stated, ‘By no means can every Christian remember the time when he was born again.’  At the end of the sermon someone challenged his statement.  Morgan turned to him and asked the man, ‘Are you alive?’  The man said, ‘Why of course I am!’  Morgan said, ‘Do you remember when you were born?’  The man said, ‘No, but I know I am living.’  Morgan replied, ‘Exactly.  Some Christians may not remember the moment of their new birth.  But they are spiritually alive and know it and that is what counts.’  You can know you have eternal life.  When the dead hear the voice of Christ, they enter into that relationship of life.” 

Join us this week at ElmCreek Community Church as together we give worship and praise to Jesus, the giver of life.

Striving to know Christ and make Him known,

Mark
