'O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?'
(1 Corinthians 15:55)
Oh my goodness people... our Easter service on Sunday was stuff of legend. .. from
the opening song to the closing prayer… you could feel it… the Holy
Spirit… present & moving.
It was hard to leave.
To be honest, I was so pumped up that I listened to the sermon online again yesterday & twice today. Seriously. I just wanna hang out here forever.
I keep asking myself, why don't we live out the powerful message of Easter every day? I mean, shouldn't we be so stinkin' excited about what Jesus has done for us that our souls can't help but bubble over with joy, with love, with compassion, with grace, with a consuming desire for holiness?
& I keep thinking, I don't want to 'settle' back into a normal, every day, run of the mill schedule & not live every moment in the Truth of Easter.
I'm not going back to that pre-grace existence people. Ever. I'm gonna keep living my faith on my sleeve. I'm gonna keep being one of THOSE people. Cause God's NOT dead He's surely alive... & He deserves all glory & honor & praise... every day...
Easter.
Everyday.
“How often, in our Christian lives, do we settle for a
"snack"--something quick--instead of feasting on all we have in
Jesus?
Are we looking into the Word, considering all we have been given, gazing
at the cross in gratefulness?
Jesus didn't just set us free from bondage-- He
gave us an inheritance.
He didn't simply pay our debt-- He gave us His bank
account of righteousness.
He didn't merely release us from Satan's grip--He
asked us to be His bride.
He takes us from dungeon to palace. Ashes to beauty.
Rejected to cherished. Starving to feasting.”
