A Special Message at Easter

A Special Message at Easter from Kris Mineau and the MFI Staff
 Following the horror of Word War Two, German Chancellor Conrad Adeneur said to Billy Graham, "Mr. Graham, outside of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, I know of no other hope for mankind."
In the midst of the political, economic and spiritual turmoil that we find ourselves in as a Commonwealth and a nation, let us be encouraged this Easter Sunday to look to the one who offers true hope and change, Jesus Christ.
He was born in an obscure village, a child of a peasant woman.
He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty,
Then became an itinerant preacher.
He never wrote a book.
He never held an office.
He never did one thing that usually accompanies greatness.
He had no credentials but Himself.
While still a young man, public opinion turned against Him.
His friends ran away.
One denied Him.
He went through the mockery of a trial.
He was nailed to a cross between two thieves.
His executioners gambled for His only piece of property - His coat.
He was laid in a borrowed grave.
Nineteen wide centuries have come and gone.
Today He is the centerpiece of the human race.
All the armies that ever marched,
All the navies that ever sailed,
All the parliaments that ever sat,
And all the kings that ever reigned put together,
Have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as that One Solitary Life.
- Dr. James Allen Francis, 1926
Wishing you all a most joyous Easter,
~ Kris Mineau and the MFI Staff
