Musicing during the Easter Season

Musicing during the Easter Season
            This is a time of year when it is popular to go to church.  People go to church during the Easter season that do not attend again until the Christmas season.  Rather than treat these people with contempt, musicians should consider these special times as wonderful opportunities to minister to some people who do not attend worship services very often. 
            I suggest that your musicing should be filled with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Keep the message simple and to the point.  You might think of the possibility that this might be the last opportunity that they might have to be presented with the claims of the gospel.  It might not be the time to sing about sheep and mansions and the ethereal breezes that blow from the glory world.
             Christ suffered and died for sinful men and women who are in need of His forgiveness and the freedom that Christ’s forgiveness brings to those who are bound with addictions.  They need to hear what God’s Word promises to those who allow Him to change their lives and to free them from the guilt and stain of sin.  Consider saturating your musicing with Scriptures that mention the peace and cleanness that comes to those who allow Christ to forgive their sins i.e. Romans 5:1”Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ…”   Consider telling thee folk that (1John 1:7) “…the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” Also tell them 1John 1:9 promises that” If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
