As Easter approaches, I pray you are preparing yourself for the glorious Day of Resurrection. What a wonderful day for all Christians. Thank you Jesus!
Because of Jesus’ great sacrifice, we have joy and peace. Our sins are forgiven and we will spend eternity with Him.
The loss of someone you love is always painful, but because Jesus died and was raised again, we can know they are in Heaven the moment they close their eyes here on earth.
Paul quotes Isaiah in 1 Corinthians 15: 54b-57:
“Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
55 “Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”
56 “The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
We should regard every day as Easter. We should praise Jesus for His love for us. We can never give Him enough praise. I think one of the things God loves most is to hear us praise His Name.
I ask you to spend time with the Lord each day and praise Him for His sacrifice. Read the scriptures of His crucifixion over and over again to help you see what a true sacrifice He made. At the Last Supper when He washed the Disciple’s feet, He also washed the feet of Judas. He knew Judas would betray Him and yet He still loved him. This is love that only Jesus can show.
Thank you Jesus
I ask you to also realize that by Jesus’ sacrifice Satan is defeated. He will be thrown into the Lake of Fire and suffer throughout eternity. We will be in Heaven rejoicing in the presence of our Great King. Thank You, Jesus.
