Sitting quietly I found myself thinking about the celebration of Easter and how well commemorated it is, so much so that, Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday boast some of the heftiest numbers in church attendance across the world. What's the point in remembering something that we do not believe?!
Jesus didn't cheat death He conquered it. He is not somehow running from death scared it will catch up with Him. He faced it and then took away all of its power so that we would no longer live in fear! Can we really say we believe in God's power if we do if we go on to live lives burdened by fear and anxiety. Many people have resigned themselves to simply hoping life will be better in the after life because we have given up on the life we now have. Are our ideas and behaviors simply denying Jesus' power in our lives and putting Him back on the cross. You will never lay your life and your cares at the feet of someone in whom you do not believe. Is that was is stopping you?To some people this post will be something cute because they believe the subject to be that of a fairy tale but to others it will be powerful stirring introspection and change. Decide today what you will believe about God going forward. The more we believe what He says is the more likely we are to do and to be what He commands.
Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20: 29
Until next time,
