Happy Easter and Resurrection Sunday 2023

Classic Jack Hamm Cartoon: "Easter Meditation"

"Easter Meditation" by Jack Hamm was distributed to newspapers for Sunday, April 10, 1955 almost exactly 65 years ago today. Meditating on John 11:25, words spoken by Jesus to Martha before he rose Lazurus, may have far greater meaning today as millions recognize his saving power while at home instead of a traditional worship service this Easter. 

"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live"

Vintage Bible Teaching Tools: Broadman Films "The Easter Story"

An amazing find for my growing Bible audio-visual collection is a number of classroom filmstrips and cassettes from the 1960s and 1970s. One of these sets was found just in time for this Easter or Resurrection Sunday. 

Broadman Films was the A/V division of Broadman Publsihing, today known as Broadman-Holman Publishing. Scores of filmstrips and audio materials were produced for home, church and classroom use by Broadman. 

The complete film strip "The Easter Story" from 1966 has a remarkable amount of its original color illustrations by Ralph McDonald intact. The instructors books overviews story with black & white copies of the images, and gives lines for the narration, anthems, cantatas, hymns, and songs to used to present the story of Easter.
