Easter massage !!

Read: Matthew 27: 33-38; chp. 28: 1-11

It would be good to read all of chp. 27 if you have time to do so. It speaks of Jesus trial and ridicule and abusive treatment from the soldiers.
   Jesus had to die on the cross and shed His blood for us, so we could be brought back into relationship with God. He was the final sacrifice. It was through Jesus blood being shed that our sins have been forgiven (washed away). Then, through His resurrection (coming back to life), we too can be risen to new life in Him. When we come to the Lord, He makes us new creations. We have Jesus resurrected life in us.
   Easter isn’t at all about Easter bunnies and Easter eggs as such, though these things are nice to have at Easter time. I’ve heard it said that the Easter egg represents 'new life' – as a chicken hatches from an egg. It is okay to enjoy chocolate bunnies and Easter eggs at Easter time, but let us not forget the real meaning of Easter.

The external reserves stood at $33.5 billion as at April, as against the $33.2 billion it recorded at the end of March after it rose to $36.4 billion by mid March. The reserves had grown by $3.1 billion in March.

THE KEY PROBLEMS BETWEEN RUSSIA AND BRITAIN RELATIONSHIP, MY OPINION!

There are four main stumbling blocks in Russian-British relations. First, the British nuclear arsenal is included in the U.S. nuclear planning system. All four British nuclear submarines are equipped with American made Trident II ballistic missiles. London also does not participate in the Washington Treaty (1987) on intermediate- and shorter-range missiles. Theoretically, the United States can bypass the START treaty’s limits and resume the production of medium-range missiles in a joint program with Britain. Therefore, Moscow believes that Britain undermines the arms control regime between the United States and Russia. Second, the United States views direct contacts between Russia and Western Europe with suspicion. The United States is quite concerned about Russia’s “common European initiatives.” Washington fears that Moscow is trying to undermine the military framework of NATO and the American presence in Europe, and so the United States tasked its key ally, Britain, with torpedoing ...
