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

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

Rick Warren with part two of a message called What is Jesus doing now? Now, even before Jesus died on

the cross, he was already praying for you. Did you know that? Notice these verses, John 17,
