We are nearing the spring Holy Day season. This is the time of the year the world celebrates the resurrection of Christ, but in the church of God why do we instead celebrate Christ's death? In this sermon Mr. Smith looks at why the world celebrates Christ's resurrection and why instead we celebrate his death?
