Why Believe The Good News Of Easter

Contributed by Paul Sizemore on Sep 28, 2016

Our Easter joy is not always immediate. It certainly wasn't immediate for Jesus' first disciples either. Even the empty tomb and the angel's proclamation left them bewildered. It was in remembering Jesus' own words that the Spirit brought them to faith.
