Happy Easter Everyone

[jmcarter]

Good synopsis Greg, I would only add a few things. The serpent knows he is defeated, his only consolation is that he wants to take others down with him. The evil existing in the world is ample evidence of that ongoing struggle. One of the best aspects of the resurrection was that early on Easter there were only a few dispirited followers and how Easter created the greatest band of witnesses who would go forth and transform the world. It's incumbent on believers to bear witness as well by living as Christ would lead us. The minds and hearts of our youth are assailed by the world, a world that would lead them astray and witnesses can help them by mentoring and living as an example they would follow. Give them a copy of the book "Unbroken" (not the movie) so they can see the power of God to overcome life's troubles or give them the "children's" Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. Ultimately it boils down to the question "Who do you say Christ is?".
