Dear Brothers and Sisters,
As we rejoice in the continuing light of Christ's resurrection, I want to take a moment to reflect on its centrality to the gospel we hold dear. Without the resurrection, our faith would be in vain (1 Cor. 15:14)—but because He lives, we are assured of both our justification and our future hope. All by His grace, through faith. The empty tomb is not just the end of Christ’s earthly suffering; it is the dawn of a new creation, the anchor of our joy and our mission. As usual, the manuscript will be sent on Sunday.
I’m also excited to share a refreshed version of our website! This coming Sunday, April 20, you’ll find the full manuscript available to read directly online, alongside the familiar downloadable file. We’ve added a few meaningful visuals to accompany the text, hoping they might help bring the message to life in a new way.
You can explore the partially updated page here: Scripture Lens. Full updates on Sunday.
As always, I’m grateful for your support and encouragement. Please help me help others to grow through the study of God’s word through context study. How? Use the materials with other people, like family and friends. You may also forward this email or share the URL so they can access manuscript and use it for their personal study. May the risen Christ continue to strengthen your heart in truth and grace.
In Him,
Ed Pilapil Jr.
