Breaking News: an Easter Message | |
|
From Fred Holbrook, Interim General Presbyter & Stated Clerk
“We interrupt this broadcast with special breaking news. Reports have been coming in from the garden tomb where Jesus of Nazareth was buried. We go now live to the scene with our field reporter, Mary Magdalene. Mary?”
I trust that you, my friends within the Presbytery of the James, believe the breaking news from the garden. You believe Jesus is risen, that he is alive. You believe it and you thank God for the new life you have because of him.
Have a blessed Easter.
