People of all ages gathered in a small Baptist church in rural Bangladesh to view a screening of the "JESUS" film. The small building was so crowded that little children had to sit on the floor, while rows of adults stood in the back.
During the crucifixion scene, weeping and gaps of disbelief could be heard as the dark-skinned audience looked on in horror.
As the Bengalis watched, they vicariously sensed the drama of the moment. It was as if they actually could feel the agony of JESUS' pain and the diappointment of the disciples.
In that emotional moment, one young boy near the makeshift screen jumped to his feet and cried out, "Don't be afraid. He gets up again! I saw the movie before."
Whether we say, "HE gets up again," "CHRIST is risen," or "HE'S Alive!", the reality of the resurrection should not be reserved for only one Sunday a year. The message of Easter is the foundation of our Faith every single day of our lives.
Because JESUS defeated death. HE is not bound by space, time, or distance. HE'S alive! JESUS lives forever! Write in block letter across your calendar,
"EVERY DAY IS EASTER!"
