From Our Pastor

A group of four year olds were gathered in a Sunday School class in Chattanooga.  The enthusiastic teacher said, “Does anyone know what today is?”  A little girl held up her finger and said, “Today is Easter Sunday.”  The teacher said, “That’s fantastic,”  “Now, does anyone know what makes this day special?”  The same little girl responded and said, “Today is Easter.  Jesus rose from the grave.”  And before the teacher could congratulate her, she kept on talking and said, “But if He sees His shadow…He has to go back for seven weeks!”
 
There’s a lot of confusion when it comes to the resurrection of Jesus.  But I have good news for you – the garden tomb is empty!
