The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Matthew 28:1-6, “Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave.

2 And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it.

3 And his appearance was like lightning, and his garment as white as snow;

4 and the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.

5 And the angel answered and said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.

6 “He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.’”

The most incontrovertable fact of human history is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead!

Some have denied it; some have ignored it; some have reputiated it. But, it is still the Truth! Yes, those dear women, who had known Him and listened carefully to His teachings, were not looking for Him in the place where they had last seen Him. Yet, He was not there in the grave! He had risen from the dead just as He said.

Today, the turmoil, the evil, the discreditation of His Truth – wages war against the reality of the Living Christ. The vociferous tirades that cry out against Him are, in point of fact, affirmations of the Truth that He is alive! Romans 1 asserts that the true knowledge of God is embedded in the hearts of all mankind. And “…that which is known about God is evident withing them; for God made it Evident to them” (Rom. 1:19).

The value of Jesus’ Resurrection, however, is priceless to mankind. It is the promise of life on the other side of the grave –Eternal Life! –life that has been rescued from the tyranny of a fallen world.

The glitter and tinsel that the world here offers will some day prove worthless to their possessers.

But, those who know Jesus and have been “Born from Above,” will rejoice throughout eternity!

The value of the Resurrection demands more exposure that even this letter can allow. Therefore, I have attached a paper from my files that I trust you will read and believe; for it is that belief in Jesus, who arose from the dead, that assures you of a Home beyond the grave! Read it! trust Him!

Know the warmth and joy of His Life indwelling yours! “May God bless you,” is my prayer.

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
