Dear ICM Family,

I extend my warmest greetings to you on this Easter Sunday, by the name of Jesus Christ our Savior.

The next day after the burial of Jesus’ body, the women arrive at the tomb to anoint the dead body. Grief-stricken with no hope, the only thing motivating them was their loyalty and devotion to the one they loved. Yet, when they come across the tomb, the stone has been rolled away and there instead was an angel in the entrance.

"Don't be afraid.” The angel said to them. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go tell his disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.' "

Dear ICM Leaders!

Hear the message of the angel wherever you are. Jesus Christ, the living God, is always sending us messages through his angel. Today the angels are saying "Don't be afraid" for Jesus has risen. We need to have confidence through the Holy Spirit for any situation in our life. Jesus said to disciples, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Let us overcome any trouble through Jesus, who strengthens us by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Dear ICM members!

Go tell the people that “Jesus is raised.” The scripture was fulfilled, as he had said to the disciples, “I will be raised again after three days”. Tell people not to be afraid of any trouble because Jesus has risen. How do we go about telling the people the story? Let us do so by sharing love, hope and peace to our friends and our neighbors.   

Dear ICM family, as Jesus Christ our risen Saviour says to you “peace be with you” for now and forever.
