Hank Smith: Why Easter Is and Should Be the Most Important Holiday

By Hank R. Smith

Each spring, the Lord teaches us that life and warmth follow the fall and the winter. The “fortunate fall” of man brought about spiritual and physical death (Daniel K Judd, The Fortunate Fall: Understanding the Blessings and Burdens of Adversity).

W. Dodd, 1869), 317).
