A Word from the PBA Director of Missions It s the most special time of year for me personally because it was during the Easter Season in 1970 when by God s grace, my eyes were opened to believe in the risen Christ. During this season of the year we celebrate the finality the once-for-allness of the saving work of Jesus on the cross and in His bodily resurrection. Hebrews 10:12 says, When Christ had offered FOR ALL TIME a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God.". When Jesus cried it is finished, the debt was paid, our sins were covered, the wrath was removed and Satan was mortally wounded. During Holy Week we emphasize the glorious once-for-allness of Jesus saving work proved by His bodily resurrection. Yet in another sense, it was only the beginning of Jesus' Work. In Acts 1:1-3, Luke says, In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. Luke says that the story he told in his gospel, ending with the resurrection and ascension of Jesus into heaven, was the beginning of the loving deeds and authoritative teaching ministry of Jesus. It was only the beginning of His doing and His teaching. The clear implication is that NOW now that Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father He is NOT finished. He is not done with His work and with His teaching. He is not dead and He is not absent. He is alive and He is present. Our Resurrected Lord is still doing and He is still teaching through the instrument of His church. There is an unfinished task ahead of us the task of proclaiming the good news to all people now in this age until the time appointed by the Father for the consummation of all things. That is why we network together on mission as an association of churches, and that is what this age is all about for us the acts of the risen, living, enthroned Lord Jesus continuing to do and teach through us. What a privilege to be instruments through which the story of Jesus continues to be told. I pray for our association of churches that our Risen Lord keeps on building His church this Easter Season just like He said He would do. By His Grace, Keith
