(ESV)\n\n        Easter gives us the hope of both a physical resurrection as\n   well as eternal life because of Jesus and His sacrifice on the\n   cross.  His empty tomb foreshadows our empty tomb.  Easter also\n   speaks of our spiritual resurrection, being raised from spiritual\n   death to a new life in Christ Jesus through the proclaimed Gospel\n   and baptism.\n\n        The prophet Ezekiel proclaimed God's Word to the children of\n   Israel during their seventy-year exile in Babylon, about six\n   hundred years before the birth of Jesus.  The children of Israel\n   had no hope because they had been removed from the land long\n   promised to Abraham and his descendants.\n\n        Ezekiel had a vision.\n        The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out\n        in the Spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle\n        of the valley; it was full of bones.  And he led me\n        around among them, and behold, there were very many on\n        the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very\n        dry.\n\n\n        This vision is about the house of Israel, as they would be\n   restored to Jerusalem.  More importantly, it is a vision of the\n   spiritual house of Israel, the Church, which seemed lost in false\n   teachings.\n\n        This week we will look at Ezekiel and the dry bones, how\n   they hear the Word of the Lord and are restored.\n\n        May our Lord grant us renewed and strengthened faith in\n   Jesus Christ as our resurrected Savior.  Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2024"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1711"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1711\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1712,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1711\/revisions\/1712"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
