The Church
The Holy Resurrection:
Divine Justice Captured Freedom
My Beloved Brethren and Children,
I thank our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ for giving us this glorious day and the opportunity to wish each of you and each family a blessed resurrection feast. Christ is risen! Truly He is risen!
Christ arose with power and might and set the world free from Satan’s clutches. Only those who do not desire liberty, continue to remain in Satan’s grasp, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23). Only God incarnate who took human flesh to save humanity could pay the ransom. He took what is ours—death and suffering to give us what is His—forgiveness and eternal life. Divine Justice demanded His execution—the slaughtered Lamb who bore the sins of mankind. His sweet aroma, which He was determined to set upon the hill of Golgotha, was the acceptable sacrifice presented to satisfy Divine Justice. "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me" (Galatians 2:20).
The Leaf-Chronicle
What started out as a leisurely Saturday
afternoon at Bethel Cumberland Presbyterian
Church in Sango for
Pastor Stewart Salyer ended
with an opportunity to demonstrate the
ecumenical spirit that Christian denominations
speak of so often. For Salyer, though, this
would not be something to talk about. It would
be something that could be done.
A young man with his wife and child spotted
Salyer in the church parking lot and pulled in
to speak with him. The man, Matthew Japheth,
inquired about the possibility of holding
Christian worship services at Bethel once a
month on a Saturday morning.
