The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

1 Corinthians 15:58, “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable,

always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.”

There is no greater miracle than the resurrection of the dead. Even the death of our

LORD Jesus Christ would have been little more than a grand, moral exercise, had He not

risen from the dead. Further, there is no greater Scriptural passage on the resurrection

than 1 Corinthians 15. You need to read it carefully. After citing the invaluable

importance of the resurrection, Paul concludes with the verse noted above. Steadfast

means holding on tightly to the truth of the resurrection. Unmovable means not allowing

what anyone says to turn you away from resurrection truth. Abounding means actively

engaging in sharing Christ’s resurrection with others. And knowing relates to your

continuing faith that what you are doing is according to His will and will ultimately be

rewarded. That sets forth a lot of work with a huge promise. But, like a fabulous

dinner, it is devoured and enjoyed one bite at a time. Stay the course!

All our love and prayers for you in every endeavor,

Nana & Dado III
