The Bible on Trial
By REBA MITCHELL
Along the pathway of life we are often faced with questions of
life and death. The blood is the life of all flesh. A body with
disease is not pure. Removing the blood will not purify the body.
The life or heart that is filled with sin is not pure. There is only
one way to cleanse a sin sick heart or purify the life, that is
through the blood of Jesus. Heb. 9:22-28. He that knew no sin
paid the debt for us. He did not owe that debt but He loved us so
much that He was willing to pay it. We owed the debt and could
not pay it, if Jesus had not paid it we would all be lost with no
hope for the future.

Sharing
Good
News
By DOROTHY FILLINGAME
The good news from the Word of God for this week comes from
Luke 24:5-7.
When the women went to the burial place of our Lord Jesus
Christ on the third day after he was crucified, they found two
men in shining garments waiting for them.
As they were afraid and bowed down their faces to the earth,
the angels of the Lord asked them this: “Why seek ye the living
among the dead? He is not here, but is risen!”
They reminded the women how Jesus had spoken to them
about these things while he was yet in Galilee. Jesus had talked to
them about how the Son of man must be delivered into the hands
of sinful men, and be crucified,, and the third day rise again.
After the Angels had spoken, they remembered Jesus’ words.
As we gather together in Christian groups this Sunday in the
Church of our choice, let us remember our risen Savior. Let us
remember how our Lord died for a lost world. Our Holy Father
raised our Savior, His only begotten Son, from the grave. Hs is
risen! He overcame death, hell and the grave. Jesus Christ is
alive and sits on the right hand of God in Heaven today.
Qur Lord Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, became the first
fruits of them that slept.
Concerning the resurrections, the Word says but every man in
his own order: Christ the first fruits: afterward they that are
Christ’s at His coming. I Cor. 15:20-23.
Our Lord Jesus Christ has gone on before us to prepare a place
for His church. He said if I go to prepare a place for you, I will
come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there
ye may be also.
I’m looking forward to the day of my resurrection, should I go
to the grave before our Savior comes. Alive or dead, I have His
promise that He will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the
voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead
in Christ shall rise first: and then all of us who are alive that
belong to Him at His coming, shall be caught up together with
them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever
be with the Lord.
Do you know this Risen Savior as your hope for eternal life? If
not, won’t you accept Him today, so you can be ready to meet Him
on that great day of His coming for His Church? Come, follow our
risen Savior all you who don’t know Him.
