<TITLE>03. Par 10-12</TITLE>L-10 Our message, therefore, is truly the greatest news flash that history's ever known. There's been all kinds of make beliefs and so forth, but the message the church has is the greatest news flash that ever struck the world. Yes, sir. We buried Him dead, but He's up and alive again. He was dead when we buried Him and now He's alive forevermore. It's truly the facts. He is not dead, but He is alive forevermore. What a message, what a flash. The church ought to be thrilled. The church should be burning this into the hearts of everybody they come into contact with. He is not dead but alive. It should make headlines everywhere. But they don't believe it. That's the reason it doesn't make headlines. But to the believer, it makes a headline in the heart of the believer. When he sees it and recognizes, it thrills him above everything that could be ever done. It throws a headline that flashes everything else of the world dead. As soon as they see He is alive and with His church, what a thrill it is to the believer. Greatest headlines that could be headlined, is right: our message today, the Easter message.

L-11 But we allow Easter to one day in the year, that's our Easter. One day in the year is an Easter. Every day in the year is--ought to be an Easter. Every day should be a thrill day of the resurrection. But you know what, they have mixed up the message of Easter. And they've mixed it with colored eggs, and--and corsages, and new bonnets, and rabbits. And therefore the Easter is just a propaganda. But to the believer that knows day by day they live in an Easter, because He has risen from the dead and He is alive forevermore in the hearts, making Himself known to His church day by day. "These signs shall follow them that believe."
Now, if you say you are a believer and those signs does not follow you, then you either have told something wrong, or say that He said something wrong. For Jesus said, "These signs shall follow the believer; In My Name they shall cast out devils, speak with new tongues." If they had been poisoned, drink a deadly thing, it would not harm them. "If they lay hands on the sick, they shall recover." Signs of that type follows the believer. And that's who He appears to: to the believer; so therefore, them signs follow the believer.

L-12 Oh, what a glorious thing it is for His church after nineteen hundred years, almost two thousand years ago, to know that He lives. We meet Him on every bend of the road, at every turn. At every place we go we see Jesus, see His living Presence flowing like radiant Light from His glorious church of the living God. How thankful we should be for that.
The message was given at the tomb: "Come, see; go, tell." First thing, "Come and be convinced." Nowadays people don't want to come to see. Those who do come, can't set ten minutes, five minutes sometimes. If you cross up their path, they're gone. "Come. See?" Don't just peep in; stand and look it over.
"Come and see, and then go and tell." That was what He told the women that morning at the grave, "Come and see where He has laid. But He's not here no more. Then go tell His disciples that I'll meet you over in Galilee."
