He Is Not Here - He Is Risen

One evangelical pastor and author recommends that Christians celebrate Easter anywhere except at church.

"Lock the front door of the church on Easter morning and post a sign there that says, 'He is not here – he is risen,'" said Eric Foley, pastor of Doers of The Word Evangelical Church, in a statement.

"That's the message the angel shares when the women come to anoint Jesus' body on Easter morning: 'Go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead; and behold, he is going ahead of you into Galilee, there you will see him.'"

Whether it was the disciples who met Jesus on the road to Emmaus or the apostles who were called out of the Upper Room and on to Galilee, Foley states that the Easter message is clear: If you want to meet Jesus, hit the road!
