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

rickatpastorrick.com. That's rickatpastorrick.com. I would love to hear from you. God bless you and happy Easter.

Hello and welcome to Pastor Rick's Daily Hope. This coming weekend on every cotton and on earth

and in thousands of different languages, people will be celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

But it doesn't stop there. Not only was Jesus resurrected, he is still alive. Today we begin a

series called What is Jesus doing now? In this series, Pastor Rick shares what Jesus is doing in

the world today. If you'd love to help the kids you know learn God's work, then stay with us.

Because in just a few minutes, we're going to tell you about God's big plans for me,

an easy to understand storybook Bible by Pastor Rick Warren. You can take a sneak peek right now

by going to PastorRick.com while you listen to today's message. Or if you want, you can just text

the word daily to 800-600-5,000-4. That's the word daily to 800-600-5,000-4. Right now, here's Pastor

Rick Warren with part one of a message called What is Jesus doing now?

Throughout history, a lot of people have claimed to be God. Okay, but only one person proved it.
