Easter is this week, and we are in the season of preparation for Easter called Lent. Hi, this is Dorette Schaal with your dailyeword. We have discovering a few things that might make this time more meaningful. We’ve already seen that Lent can be a time of GIVING UP, PARING BACK, REACHING OUT, RESPONSIBILITY, REPENTENCE, RECONCILIATION, and REFRESHING! We’ve made a decision to say yes to God. Jesus did that too on His last week on the earth. Let’s follow His example and continue to say yes! Here is your dailyeword.
Monday (march 25)
Easter is just days away, and I’m really excited. We had an awesome Palm Sunday at our church with loads of fun for kids. There were 15,000 eggs in an egg hunt and great games, horse rides, bouncy houses, train rides, and amazing fun in a carnival setting. There were kids everywhere! We love reaching kids at Amazing Grace Fellowship. We know very well that Easter is not about a bunny or eggs. What Easter is about is new life through Christ. He did everything that was necessary so that we could have LIFE in Him. We usually don’t like to think about His suffering and the pain that He went through, but it is important we remember that, because it shows how much God loves and values you. God wanted His family back so badly, that He was willing to do what was lawfully necessary to make it happen. It started by sending His son as a baby, and then culminated by sacrificing His Son on a cross, so that we can have salvation. Once mans sin, redeemed by one man’s sacrifice. We probably have taken for granted the wonderful life we have in Christ, but it cost Jesus dearly. He agonized over it. His friends deserted Him when He needed them most. He carried the weight of the world on His shoulders for you. I hope you remember and are thankful for the miracle of LIFE we have in Christ. Even though Jesus asked if there was another plan, ultimately He said yes to the plan of God, and that was a big yes for us.
