Life Quote: “You could speak of Jesus’ rising as the most hopeful (hope-full) thing that has ever happened—and you would be right!” J. I. Packer, theologian and author. A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life / www.lutheransforlife.org / 888-364-LIFE

Stewardship Today: 1 Corinthians 15:51-57: The verses following this great Easter text encourage God’s stewards to “give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” What an encouragement to know that all we do in the work of our Lord is an investment in “eternal things!”
