Where are you going to be this Easter Sunday? Hopefully, the answer includes a time for worship and praise for the resulting promise that comes when you celebrate the resurrection of your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As previously mentioned in last week’s article, Burbank First has a sunrise service at 7 am. It is a time of remembering that Jesus is risen from the grave. Jesus is preparing a place for all who believe in Him. It is called Heaven and is a place to experience life everlasting. The Easter Sunday worship service that follows at 11 am is a continuing time of rejoicing in the future promise in that land where peace, joy, and love is perpetual. My mind wonders how many of our brothers and sisters in Christ that have passed in the many years of the Burbank First’s existence are now rejoicing in their decision to receive Christ as their risen Savior and Redeemer. This week, I have been privileged to gather each morning on Monday through Wednesday at 6:30 am with several of the faithful from the churches in the Shidler Ministerial Alliance in Webb City, Oklahoma. We share food that each place of worship provides. Then a devotion is brought to help us reflect on the true meaning of Easter. It isn’t a long meeting but ignites our hearts to remember all that Jesus endured during His week of passion. I am praying for those that read this article that they also are preparing themselves for a time of remembrance and reflection. I have been blessed with the comments of people who I have met that say they enjoy reading this small statement of reflection on the Lord’s work in Burbank. May the Lord inspire each of you to spend time in worship this Easter Sunday in your home churches.
