THE TOMB IS EMPTY A number of years ago retired U.M. Bishop Don Ott was the guest preacher at our Easter services. In his closing benediction he related the story about a pastor who was giving a childrens sermon on Easter Sunday. The pastor asked the children what it meant that the tomb was empty. The pastor was expecting the liturgical response, Christ is risen. Instead one little girl replied in a loud voice for all to hear, Jesus is on the loose! That says a lot, doesnt it? Jesus is on the loose in this world seeking to transform it into His kingdom. And Hes doing it one soul at a time. Is Jesus on the loose in your life, your family, your work or school, your community? Please, God, dont let us re-nail Jesus to the cross or re-seal Him in the tomb. Let us allow Him to run loose in our lives. -- Rev. David T. Wilkinson
