At Easter, we celebrate an event that happened 2,000 years ago, but we also look forward to the future.

Here's Barbara Rainey.

Not only is Easter the story of how Christ purchased our freedom in him, how he accomplished our salvation on the cross, but Easter is also foretelling what we will experience one day in heaven.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss-Walgamuth, author of The Wonder of His Name, for March 7, 2018.

Thank you. 2018.

Well, if you've popped in in the middle of this conversation with Barbara Rainey over the last couple of days, you may have wondered, do they know what month it is?

They revive our hearts.

They're talking about Easter, and it's only March.

Well, we're doing that because we want to help you plan ahead and prepare to make a really big deal out of Passion Week,

Good Friday, and Resurrection Day just about a month from now. So it's a joy to welcome you again,

Barbara Rainey, to revive our hearts. Thanks so much

for your work on this subject and for helping our listeners to better understand the significance

of that first Easter. Well, thanks. It's a delight to be here and talk about my favorite subject,

so thanks for having me. And you've made me more excited about it. I took time this morning to

read through and do just a little meditation

on these eight cards you've developed. It's a set of cards that we're making available to our

listeners this week. And that's why we're airing this ahead of Easter so they can have this ready.

You can read one a day in the days leading up to Easter, starting with Palm Sunday through

Easter Sunday. Or you can pull these all out

on Resurrection Day and read them at your family lunch. There are other ideas Barbara has developed

that are available. If you'll go to Reviverhearts.com and click on the link to her website,

Ever Thine Home. You see lots of ideas, resources, tools, ways that you can help
