Dr James Renihan writes: Dear Christian Brothers and Sisters, Greetings in Christ. In a few days, believers around the world will celebrate the joy of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. While we know that every Lord's Day commemorates His rising from the dead, it's still a good thing to have a special day to celebrate this joyous event. Speaking about the righteousness of Christ, the Word of God reminds us that "it shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification" (Romans 4:24-25). When we believe in Jesus, we receive the benefits of his righteous life, his sacrifical death and his resurrection from the tomb. The resurrection is God's demonstration to us that all who place their faith in Jesus Christ receive the gift of justification. Glory be to God! May the wonder of God's work through Jesus Christ fill your hearts with joy and peace.
