ed "Resurrection; the Evidence".
The first Easter Sunday - was the
day God chose as the first day of the
rest of the life of the world. Our gospel
lesson for today is actually taken
from a service for today called the
"Easter Vigil" and it is just one of 26
readings for that -service. Preachers
are told to allow the scriptures to
speak for themselves.
Easter is one of those Sundays we
really ought to allow the scriptures to
speak on their own. What can a mor-
tal. add to the astounding news God
presents -to us that Jesus has been
raised from the dead. On Good Friday
we spent tnuch of our time in prayer.
On Easter Sunday we should spend
our time celebrating in song for song
