Good morning and greetings from Abiding Peace,
Easter makes all the difference because we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, and today we are reminded that he is the only Savior for mankind. There is no other way to heaven except through Jesus. That truth of Scripture is amazingly exclusive (and so a stumbling block to many), but it is at the same time remarkably inclusive (Jesus came to save everyone!, including you!).
Come Sunday to hear more.
