Pastor Brad Bailey tells about an Illinois man who left Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him the next day. When he reached his hotel he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it from memory.

Unfortunately, he missed one letter and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher’s wife, whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor dead.   At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:

Dearest Wife,

Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow.

Your Loving Husband

P.S: Sure is hot down here.

What could be more powerful than news from the other side of death ? Easter is that and more.

• Not an email message, but a living message.
• Not from man, but from God.
• Not from hell, but from heaven.

It’s GOOD NEWS!   HE’S NO LONGER IN THE GRAVE!
