Hello-ween!
'...but on the third day, he shall rise again' Matthew 17:23
Halloween Night. That annual bit of so-called 'fun' when parents dress their children up as satan's little helpers and demand treats from neighbours 'or else'! It's true to say that Christians are known for being a tad sensitive when it comes to the subject of 'Halloween', but everyone with a brain cell between their ears ought to see that there are better things to throw a party over! And anyway, if it's out-of-this-world supernatural stuff you're looking for then crack open the party-poppers for Jesus; He's King of the supernatural:
1) demons shrieked when He walked down the street - and ran from Him fearing His power to bind them in eternal chains with a single Word
2) the forces of nature obeyed His command, water turned to wine, crashing waves became gentle ripples and fish even coughed up coins!
3) He died, and then rose from the dead!
This was no Shaun of the Dead situation, Jesus didn't return from the grave as a moaning, groaning half-dead shadow of His former self; His resurrected body was now fit for eternity, like ours will be when we're raised to reign with Him on the final day.
The most supernatural thing of all is that Jesus is here right now with you by His Holy Spirit. Say 'Hello' right now; ask Jesus to say, 'Hello' right back in your life. There's a prayer at the back of this magazine to introduce you to Jesus and make today Hello-ween not Halloween.
