Celebrating Our Risen Savior!

Celebrating Our Risen Savior!

Comments 0 Comment

Today is the day many Christians celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. He is the Risen Savior! It is the day that Jesus forever defeated death, and because of what He did, we get to live in eternity with Him. 

The Bible says in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” What a gift!

[I know everyone doesn’t believe that, but on this blog, we do.] 

For me, this is an awesome opportunity to show God how much we appreciate Him. Here’s the amazing thing…He didn’t just do it for those who loved Him, He did it for those who may never receive Him as Lord and Savior. That’s the kind of God we serve.

And although we could never repay Him for what He did–we can honor Him for what He continues to do.

He continues to show up. He continues to make a way. He continues to be our Provider. Our Healer. Our Redeemer, and our King. 

So, today God we honor You with the praise of our lips not for what You have done, but for who You are.

Hallelujah! Thank You, LORD!

Until next time!

Be blessed

…just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.” –Romans 6:4

This past week, many of us honored the walk Jesus made to the cross.  Today, I think of the sacrifice Jesus Christ made for all of us…even for those who did/do not believe. What kind of man would do that? I’ll tell you what kind of man would do that. The kind of man who loved us so much that He would die and go to hell so that we wouldn’t have to. The kind of man who never sinned, but took all of our sin so that we could have new life. And here is an even better question. If He could do that for us…what is it that we can’t do for Him? 

God loved us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to the cross. And He did that because He couldn’t bear being separated from us. It is so amazing to me that the Creator who created it all thought enough of us to do that. And even more amazing is that the Bible says, “The Lord called me before my birth. From within the womb he called me by my name.” (Isaiah 49:1 TLB). I thank God that He called us by name. That scripture says that we were always on His mind…even before we were born. How awesome is that?

God called us into being because He had a plan for each one of us. He has individually chosen us to represent Him in the earth. To tell others about the saving grace of the Lord, Jesus Christ. And He has given us all unique gifts that only we can do to reach the people that only we can reach. So, what are you doing with your gifts? 

I am challenging all of us, on this Resurrection Sunday to live the best life we can possibly live. To use every gift, every skill, every talent, and every dream to honor the One who has given us new life. 

Whatever God is calling you to do…don’t stop until you do it.

Until next time…

Be blessed.
