Over 26 years ago my sister invited me to an Easter service at her church.  I stopped in on my way to an afternoon Rangers game.  What to her probably seemed like a very casual attempt on my part to express my almost non-existent spiritual passion turned out to be a very pivotal point in my life.

I still can see the pastor as he preached and while I do not remember the message, I remember his zeal and authenticity. I remember some of the people I met that day and in particular a 16 year old girl who seemed to have a much better grip on life than I did.  I knew she and the others I met had something I did not.

A few months later my sister shared the good news of the gospel with me – that I could be forgiven and have a second chance at life.  A few weeks later I experienced a grace explosion in my heart and life has never been the same.

Invite a friend to Easter services with you.

"The biggest fact about Joseph's tomb was that it wasn't a tomb at all - it was a room for a transient. Jesus just stopped there...on His way back to glory."  (Herbert Booth Smith)
