"Bro. Calvin's Comments"
What difference does Jesus’ resurrection make? Let’s look at a person who went from success to failure to success and discover the difference His resurrection made.
This person worked in a family-owned business and ran it well. He was successful, yet he still worked very hard each day. Like others before and after him, he left his successful business to pursue another venture. He learned quickly and made a few mistakes along the way. As his internship was ending, he had a major test. The once successful businessman failed. He was ashamed, humiliated, disgraced. His failure was so complete that he decided to return to his previous business venture.
Mark’s gospel records two words that speak to the failure of this man. When the man dressed in white spoke to the women at the empty tomb of Jesus, he said, "Go! Tell his disciples and Peter…" And Peter. The man who failed Jesus, the man who denied knowing Jesus received a personal message – come meet the resurrected Jesus.
What difference did the resurrection make in Peter’s life? From a denying disciple he became a faithful-unto-death disciple. He preached the good news – Jesus died for Peter’s own sin as well as everybody else’s sin, Jesus arose the third day from the grave, and Jesus forgave him and gave him a new mission. Peter continued to learn how to live for Jesus and relate to other people. Nevertheless, Jesus took the man who failed the test, restored him and empowered him to live for Him.
Have you failed at an endeavor? Have you experienced restoring grace? Have you personally met Jesus and experienced His forgiveness? What difference has the resurrection of Jesus made in your life?
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.

This month we have a number of special and important dates that I would like to stress. First is our Easter celebrations. The Eggstravaganza is Saturday, April 4, at 1:30 p.m. This is a wonderful time for preschoolers and younger children in our community. We need your help with this event. The Easter Sunrise Service will be April 12, at 6:45 a.m. in the Prayer Garden followed by breakfast!
We
have the privilege to host the Louisiana College Chorale in Concert
on Friday, April 17, at 7:00 p.m. as part of their Spring Tour. This
selected group of singers is the main choir for the Department of Music at our
state Baptist college. The 2008 Spring Tour was to Germany and the 2005 Spring
Tour was to France and Spain. The Chorale’s repertoire consists of a broad range
of outstanding choral literature from all styles of music. Please help us have a
nice crowd for this concert.
As part of hosting this group, we will need to house them that night. We will need about 12 to 15 homes to provide them lodging for the night. There is a housing sign-up list on the hallway bulletin board. Thanks for your help in making this concert possible!
