Last night was the first rehearsal for the Easter service at church. As the band worked on getting the songs just right, a group of middle schoolers came in the sanctuary. The kids went to the cross on the stage and a group of them nailed ribbons with there names on them to the cross. At church this is to signify a first time commitment to Christ. As the band played worship music the kids nailed there ribbons, the sound of the nails being driven into the cross was powerful. The kids began to dance around the stage with hugs, high fives and tears of joy. I was amazed at the power in this moment. I began to wonder if the angels in heaven joined in the song and danced. 5 more people said yes to Christ, yes to follow him and yes to eternity. These young people have radically changed their lives and I got to see it happen. To feel the power of the moment. I am sure there was singing and dancing for joy in heaven. This is going to be a great Easter! The power of God is working and is alive...
HE IS RISEN!!
