The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Acts 2:29-33, “‘Brethren, I may confidently say to you regarding the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30 “And so, because he was a prophet, and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one of his descendants upon his throne,
31 he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that He was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh suffer decay.
32 “This Jesus God raised up again, to which we are all witnesses.
33 “Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear.’”

The precise age of Jesus Christ is difficult to determine. The year of His birth is believed to have been between B.C. 4-6 and His death, resurrection and ascension into Heaven is believed to have been about 30 A.D. Perhaps the exactness of those dates is of less importance than that the fact that He was miraculously conceived, and lived among us for 30 some years, before ascending back into Heaven.

It was Simon Peter, who had journeyed with Christ, who, in the verses above, focuses the attention of believers upon the prophecy of David. What is of greater value than Jesus’ age, however, is His life and ministry, His death on the cross for our sins, and His physical, bodily Resurrection from the dead! His entire ministry on Earth was something in the neighborhood of 30 years.

You will, I trust, hear innumerable messages today regarding the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. I have elected to cite for you some invaluable Proofs of the Resurrection in an attached paper. It is in a format that should work with whatever software your equipment uses. I trust you will utilize this evidence in your witness of Him to others. We believers need to share His Truth while we are able. The salvation of others may largely depend upon our witness. We simply do not know how much –or little—time we have before His Reurn. So, pray and share God’s Truth! Jesus Christ is ALIVE and will save all who come to Him by faith! But, they need to hear about Him first.

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
