An Easter Bunny – and an Easter Story – Worth Remembering
You’ve probably seen Santa Claus; but have you ever seen the Easter Bunny?
As a small child, I enjoyed visiting Santa at a local department store at Christmastime. My parents would take me downtown to the jolly bearded man in the red suit. I felt comfortable climbing into his lap, telling him my wish list and receiving a gift along with his encouraging words. He was friendly, predictable, and…
He Is Risen, as He Said!
On the third day after Jesus died on the cross, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James went to visit His grave. Suddenly there was an earthquake as an angel rolled back the stone covering the tomb. Then the angel said to the women:
“Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen, just as He said" (Matthew 28:5-6 NIV)
There is…

Questions
Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?”—John 14:5 NASB
As Jesus and His 12 disciples gathered to celebrate the Passover, He disclosed revelations about His life and the future. He also assured them not to let their hearts be troubled. He was going to prepare a place for them. Jesus said, “I am coming again and will take you to Myself, so that where…
Prepare and Fulfill
As they approached Jerusalem … He sent two of His disciples, and said to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there … untie it and bring it here.”—Mark 11:1–2 NASB
The crowds were excited. Learning that Jesus was about to enter Jerusalem, they welcomed Him, shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord!” (v. 9).…
Deception
For your wrongdoing teaches your mouth, and you choose the language of the cunning.—Job 15:5 NASB
To Eliphaz, the facts were clear. Job had experienced serious problems. From Eliphaz’s perspective, this inevitably meant that Job could not be as innocent as he claimed. Guilt must have motivated him. The Hebrew word suggests moral evil and perversity. He also must have been crafty.
Eliphaz…
Hosanna in the Highest
“Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” (Mark 11:9 ESV).
Today is Palm Sunday, a day set aside to praise Jesus, the Messiah! Unlike the Jews of Jesus’ day, we know He did not come to conquer the world at His first coming, but will come again to right all wrongs, and that is worthy of our praise.
Palm Sunday commemorates the significant event of Jesus Christ's triumphant…
What Is the Message of Palm Sunday?
Can I trust God? Really trust him?
The message of Palm Sunday is one of promise and absolute faith. It shows the importance of believing God, prior to seeing final results. Jesus’ arrival into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday was foretold long before it happened. “Say to Daughter Zion, ‘See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’” (Zechariah 9:9)…
What Is the Significance of Holy Week?
Years ago, I worked in a small office with an agnostic boss, an atheist bookkeeper, and two devout Catholics. One year during Holy Week, our boss asked, “Why do you call it Good Friday? Jesus died!”
Virginia, Mary and I answered simultaneously: “Because if Jesus hadn’t died, we’d still be dead in our sins.”
Without Good Friday, there could be no resurrection.
It’s no wonder that…
