Pastor's Corner

for Sunday April 10th
When the role is called up yonder I’ll be there.
The apostle Peter says that Christians are to be ready to give an answer for the hope that lies within them. What is this hope? It is the hope of eternal life. It is the firm assurance that death is simply a doorway into an eternal day. For those in Christ death has no sting; it has no dread; it is not the “dark unknown” because Jesus has gone on ahead of us. He has tasted death for all who put their faith in Him. All who are in Him will live with Him for all eternity! His resurrection guarantees our resurrection. That’s why I know, as the song says, “When the role is called up yonder I’ll be there.” When God calls Moses’ name, I’ll be there, when He calls the Apostle Paul’s name, I’ll be there, and eventually He will call my name! What a hope! What a glorious destiny! And it’s all ours through the grace of God in Jesus.
