Good News, He is Risen
By Billy Graham

55 ÔÇ£Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?ÔÇØ
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Easter is a season of great gladness for those who know Christ. But for those who are without ÔÇ£the light of the knowledge of GodÔÇÖs gloryÔÇØ (2 Corinthians 4:6), there is nothing to rejoice over.

Jesus left us with the great hope and certainty that He is going to return to bring a new Heaven and a new earth where, we are told, there will be no more sorrow, trouble, or death for those who have believed and followed Him. There will be trouble, sorrow, and suffering for those who have neglected or rejected Him.


As Christians, our great task is to obey the command to tell the whole world about Christ crucified, buried, yet risen again. My prayer for you during this season of the year, when we meditate on our SaviorÔÇÖs great sacrifice for us on the Cross, is that you will be filled with great peace and hope, because ÔÇ£He is Risen!ÔÇØ That is the Good News.
