Hello everybody this is

this is Pastor Rick's Daily Hope if you're joining us for the first time or you've

been listening every day for 10 years we just want to say welcome, we love you, and we pray for you every day.

So we're continuing with this series called Daring Faith The Key to Miracles.

And in this series you're learning how to have a bold unshakable

faith that gives you courage to impact the world around you and if you're like me

you'd really like to be more bold and have more courage to share your faith in Christ.

Now let's hear what Rick has to say today in part one of a message called

Daring to Believe.

The Bible records the first Easter morning this way in John

Chapter 20. Let me read it to you. Early Sunday morning while it was still dark.

Mary Magdalene went to the tomb, to visit the tomb where Jesus had been buried.

And she found a huge stone had been rolled away from the entrance.

So she ran and she found Peter and John two of Jesus disciples.

She said, they have taken the Lord's body out of the tomb and I don't know where they've put him.

See in this time nobody expected the resurrection even the disciples even though Jesus

had predicted it told nobody expected it they thought somebody had stolen the body. So then Peter and John

ran to the tomb to see for themselves and John got to the tomb first. He saw the linen burial

cloth lying there folded. Now this is kind of strange. If you're a

gray robber you're not going to take a dead body, unwrap it, fold up the roll and

sit the wrapping right there and then take a dead naked body.

That would be kind of weird.
