Remember the words of Jesus and your faith will resound with reassurance. “I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades” (Revelation 1:18).
Christ has risen from the dead! Think about what that means! Not only did God send his Son to suffer and die for us in this world, He used Christ to give us a human example of what glory we can expect when we follow Him. When we choose to follow Christ, we are promised to be 'resurrected' into heaven after we die. I awake with renewed hope and no worries each day because of Jesus' resurrection. The greatest gift that has ever and will ever be was given through His life.
We are blessed!!!!
Today is not about the Easter eggs you may hunt, or the cupcakes you may eat. It's not about the time spent with family. It is ALL about Jesus!! Don't get me wrong, those things help to make my favorite holiday all the more wonderful, but I rise to worship God today and praise Him in humble repentance for that amazing and glorious gift He gave us!
Now that He is risen, we must obey!
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and
teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you
always, to the very end of the age."
Matthew 28:19-20
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to
offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your
spiritual act of worship. Do not conform
any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of
your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his
good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:1-2
