Greetings Leaders,
This time of year one of the songs you can regularly hear in the Thigpen house is the modern hymn "Come Behold the Wondrous Mystery." The lyrics are rich and it's message powerful. It helps focus us on the resurrection and God's plan to gather his children through the now finished work of Jesus' sacrifice.
As people of the resurrection, our hope is secure. I love the way this hymn puts it...
What a foretaste of deliverance
How unwavering our hope
Christ in power resurrected
As we will be when he comes
If you'd like to hear the whole song, here's a LINK.
I pray that no matter what this past year has brought for you, your family, and friends that your hope is fixed on Jesus this Easter season. He is our hope. He is our peace.
This week our discussions focus on the resurrection of Jesus, how it secures our hope, makes us dead to sin, and enables us to fight sin while we await Jesus' coming again. Let's be encouraged brothers and sisters. Jesus is risen and he will come again. Let's look to him together.
In Him,
Joseph
