In preparing my Easter message, I remembered a story I heard long ago that speaks so clearly to every believer. It’s an incredible testimony I wanted to share with you.
William Sangster, one of the great preachers of the 20th century, suffered from muscular atrophy and began losing muscle control. In his final days, he was unable to speak. On his last Easter, he wrote a letter to his daughter:
“It is terrible to wake up on Easter morning and have no voice with which to shout, ‘He is risen!’ ... But it would be still more terrible to have a voice and not want to shout.”
God has given us a voice, and as long as I have life and breath and strength, I intend to shout, “Jesus is alive!” Not just on Easter, every day.
How about you ... will you shout?

Amen, Pastor.
It's so easy to get swept up in the day-to-day details of living, and to forget the One who gave us life.
Thanks for this powerful reminder.
