EASTER 1978 - David Jon Hill - March 1978

David Jon Hill

It's early. Very, very early. In fact, it's even darker outside your home now than it was last night when you went to bed. Somehow you sleepily stumble into your finest new clothes, wake the kids, get them dressed , walk out into the chill morning air. It's just a short trip to a special local hillside, and you arrive at 5:30 a.m. It's an Easter sunrise service. All your friends and neighbors are there. You squint to make sure you recognize them and hope they will recognize you, but you can't make out all the faces in the dark. The services are about to begin. The minister softly intones about the Son of God risen. The audience is led to a quietly emotional climax and then the long-awaited moment arrives; the first sharp ray of the yellow orb peeks over the eastern horizon. Every head bows in worship. Later on in the morning, there is a romping family egg hunt at home with some of the neighbor children. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
