Frederick J. Homsher

HE IS RISEN!!  Christ is risen from the dead!  On the very day we celebrated our risen Savior, our family suffered the earthly loss of our beloved husband, father, grandpa, brother.  But we know that he is home in Heaven with His Savior.  Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life; whoever believes in Him will live even if he dies. (John 11:25). Because we serve a risen Savior, we can truly say, "Death, where is your victory?  Grave, where is your sting?" (1Cor. 15:55). Christ has won the victory!
