HAPPY EASTER…
YOUR BEAUTIFUL PURPOSE TODAY:
Women of God, are you prepared to share the Easter story and the 100% truth about it today?
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundation of our faith. Without it (resurrection)…the belief in God’s saving grace through Jesus is destroyed. We need to be able to share this truth.
As we celebrate Easter with family or however we decide to observe it today, let’s remind those we love why the resurrection is so important.
Before the resurrection, we remember that Jesus really suffered, and we can also know He understands what it feels like to “endure pain.”
Jesus chose to be obedient to God even though he knew many wouldn’t understand His decision and that He’d lose His life for it.
(We can learn from this fact that God has bigger plans for us too~more than just our momentary hurts.)
There is nothing God can’t conquer. He conquered death. He proved that with the resurrection.
When Jesus rose from the dead, He confirmed His identity to us as the Son of God and His work of atonement, redemption, reconciliation, and salvation.
The Resurrection was a real, literal, physical raising of Jesus’ body after He had died~ He arose from the grave.
It’s so important to remember, celebrate and also share why you have your Christian faith.
Jesus conquered the grave so that we can live forever with Him. We can conquer life’s challenges through the shed blood of the lamb. Jesus’ body did not stay in the tomb! Jesus went through all He did on the cross because He loves you.
True hope, healing, and salvation are found only at the cross, and we remember God’s completed work today in the Resurrection of Jesus. He will complete His work in you too.
Thank God for Resurrection Sunday, Easter. It’s not about going to the church building. It’s about our faith and the foundation of our faith, and nothing or no one can stop us from sharing and celebrating it.
Amen.
A good read for today: Matthew 28
The Resurrection of Jesus.
