Hi, this is Rick Warren, Bible teacher for the Daily Hope broadcast. Did you know that because of Easter,

your past can be forgiven, you get a purpose for living, and you can have a home in heaven? That's good

news. Where else can you get that kind of news? Nowhere else. And did you know that at Easter,

studies have shown people are more open to an invitation to go to church than at any other time of

the year.

Don't go to church by yourself.

But bring somebody who doesn't know Jesus Christ, a family member, a friend, a coworker,

a neighbor, a relative.

And if you bring them to that church service and they come to know Christ, you're going to

be making a friend for eternity.

It'll be the most important investment you can ever make in their lives.

And by the way, if they come to Christ, would you let me know about it?

I'd love to hear that story that you brought somebody to Easter and they found Jesus.

You can write to me, Rick at Pastor Rick.com.

That's Rick at Pastor Rick.com. I would love to hear from you. God bless you

and happy Easter. Hello and welcome to Pastor Rick Warren's Daily Hope. Well, this weekend

across every continent and in thousands of languages, millions of people

will join together to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the cornerstone of our faith.

But you know, it doesn't stop there.

Not only was Jesus resurrected, he is still alive.

So what do you say we dive right in as Pastor Rick begins part one of a very special Easter

message titled, What It Means to Believe in Jesus.
