    You may have heard of a rather pompous-looking deacon who was speaking to a class of boys about the importance of living the Christian life. “Why do people call me a Christian?” the man asked. After a moment’s pause, one youngster said, “Maybe it’s because they don’t know you.”

     | 1,410 views

    Because Jesus rose from the dead – so will we … but before we go, we are changed into something he wants us to be. He wants us to look forward to dead, and our future life with him.
