CLASSICS & CURIOS EASTER SPECIAL

It's a time of joy as we celebrate our risen Lord on this Classics &
Curios Easter Special. So "Turn Your Radio On" and get in touch with God
with the Gaither Homecoming Friends; get your Easter bonnet on for the
"Easter Parade" with the Lewis Family; attend the 1933 Broadway Revue
"As Thousands Cheer;" and hear the first performance of Irving Berlin's
"Easter Parade," which Berlin first composed in 1917 as "Smile, and Show
Your Dimple."

Andy Griffith sings "I Love to Tell the Story of Jesus and His Love" and
the Gaither Vocal Band performs the rousing "Let Freedom Ring." Finally,
our joyful celebration comes to a crescendo with Don Francisco's moving
"He's Alive."

As Don Francisco sings and as the Bible tells us, Jesus is indeed alive
today, and we cannot achieve heaven by what we do. But through Christ's
sacrificial death on the cross He makes it possible for us to receive
forgiveness for having turned from God. Through His resurrection He
gives blessed hope and eternal life at the very moment people accept His
saving sacrifice and choose to receive Him into their hearts. And that
is what Andy Griffith affirms as he sings, "I know 'tis true" and why
Christians around the world celebrate Easter Sunday with joy and reverence.

Christians like Andy "love to tell the story of Jesus and His love," --
just as Swiss theologian Karl Barth and Christian scholar Francis
Schaeffer loved to summarize the core of Christian faith in the
wonderful words of the hymn, "Jesus Loves Me [This I Know For the Bible
Tells Me So]."

In parts of Eastern Europe over the centuries the standard greeting of
"Good Day" was insufficient for believers at Easter, so they would
instead exclaim, "He is risen!" It's in that spirit that we celebrate
Easter in this episode.

****************************
Some of the above Easter comments are paraphrased from THE CHRISTIAN
PROFESSOR IN THE SECULAR UNIVERSITY: SINGING & SOARING ON PATHS OF JOY,
pp. 151-152, Xulon Press and Amazon by Duane Keilstrup. Among Easter
references also often cited by Barth and Schaefer see especially New
Testament passages Ephesians 2:8-10, John 3:16, Romans 3:23, John 5:24,
Hebrews 9:14, and Revelations 3:20.
