We take our lead from Christ, who is the source of everything we do. God wants us to grow up… like Christ in everything. We see the original and intended shape of our lives there in him. The Son stands first in the line of humanity he restored. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son. God knew what he was doing from the very beginning. OKAY – I want to read 4 passages as we begin today… THEN – we’ll invite God into our time this morning… THAT’S – why we decided to leave the Easter Door up for one more week… TO REMIND – each of us, that Jesus is STILL alive – that the wall between us and God (between us and the life God created us to live) is STILL knocked down and that the Easter Door (the door of forgiveness, restoration and hope) is STILL open for you to walk through and experience: forgiveness, restoration and hope. We’re here to remind you that there are still so many good things happening in South Africa & we’ll leave you feeling a little more proudly South African.WOW – last Sunday was an incredible day… God really spoke to us His people in a huge way about what His Son accomplished on that first Easter Sunday 2000 years ago.
