What a wonderful season Easter is. This week we are focusing on how Jesus said yes to the will of God. Easter demonstrates the love of God in the best way possible. Easter is the Greatest Love Story Ever! God’s love came to earth in the form of a baby, to grow up to die on a tree for you and me. Jesus came to bring love close to us, and now because of the love we’ve received, we find ourselves, loving God, loving people and then loving this amazing life we get to live! During this last week of Jesus life, before he went to the cross, things got ugly. He was brought before officials who let another criminal go, so that Jesus would be crucified, at the people’s demand. Jesus we know triumphed over death,
My prayer for you is that you have a wonderful Easter celebration, full of victory and triumph. Beyond Easter, I hope you live in the victory Jesus bought for us. Because of Jesus’ victory, we have been made more than conquerors, and overcomers in this life. To be more than a conqueror is to be the recipient of all of the benefits, without having to do the work – like a boxer who is declared the champion, when he hands his wife the victory check! Jesus took on death hell and the grave for us, and handed us the victory! Who would do that but Jesus. He did that for you! That sounds like God, and that’s called grace!
