The President of the Texas District of the LCMS is being interviewed by Pastor David Bahn, former Sr. Pastor of St. John Lutheran Church in Cypress, and now retired. When you think about Easter, what is its essence but "Christ is Risen; He is risen indeed!" To explain the true message in other words is to say, "there is no name under Heaven given among men, whereby men must be saved." Instead of just endeavoring to be convincing to your friend or neighbor, invite him to join this celebration. For this message of Easter is that God is with us "in the difficulties that surround us. Christ is risen; He is risen indeed!"
