Easter Sunday
April 20, 2025
It’s Easter morning, and the church bells are ringing. Today, it’s all about the joy that Christ has risen! Yes, the crucified Christ won over death as he said he would. After his having arisen from the tomb, he appears to those with whom he was very close. For example, he first appears to the three Marys, then over the next 40 days, to his disciples, including Cleopas and his wife Mary, on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35.) He also appears to over 500 believers whom the 11 apostles gathered together. (Mark 16:7.)

Such a thought supports the idea that we are, first and foremost, an invisible soul with its spiritual image.
