DAILY?READINGS: 2 Chron. 6:12-42; Ezekiel 30:20-31:18; John 11:28-54

Now is Christ risen from the dead and become the firstfruits of them that slept.  1 Corinthians 15:20

What reassuring words from the pen of Paul, declaring the truth of the resurrection of Christ. It is an historical fact! And so many wonderful blessings flow from it. Not the least of which is the glorious prospect that the bodies of those who have died in Christ will be raised. Take comfort today, for we will meet our loved ones again! —Jim Paul

How joyful is the thought that lingers,
When loved ones cross death’s sea;
That when our labours here have ended,
With them we will ever be.
—E. Ewan
