Sunday-Easter Sunday, 20April 2014, Maranatha! Jesus was alive, was crucified and died, was buried and He was resurrected by God the Father on the third day according to the scriptures and He is ALIVE  just as He said. I hope and pray you are reading your Bible to know God.  We are praying for you, others are praying for you and The Lord Jesus Christ is praying for you to hear, believe and receive His gift of eternal life.

Lesson # 17 One Year Bible Comments  prepared  20 April 2014.  Spend some time this week as you read to know God and develop your prayer of adoration. After you spend time adoring Jehovah as Almighty God  your Heavenly Father and The Lord Jesus Christ your Saviour and also The Holy Spirit  your Comforter then admit your short comings, sins, and acts of disobedience-come clean to Him who sees all. Accept His forgiveness, allow Him to cleanse and repair you as you are thankful, grateful and renewed, made wholly holy. Be thankful. Then if you want to, tell Him what you need. He is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent.  He loves His own ! Enjoy the reality of the gospel. Celebrate the promised resurrection of Jesus. He is ALIVE!
