Easter!

 


   It is a glorious new day! Jesus Christ has risen from the dead! Alleluia! Let us celebrate God's love! Don't think of this as an event that happened long ago. This is important to your life today! Imagine if someone special in your life rose from the dead and told you all about heaven. Your joy would be too much to contain! Would you believe what they told you about heaven? Of course, because only God could perform such a miracle!

 Jesus has conquered sin and death! We are not bound by the evils of this world. Jesus himself has told us of the wonders that await us in heaven! We can trust and believe all that Jesus has shared with us and continues to share. We have been baptized into His family, and the Spirit of Truth lives in us! Before he was scourged, Jesus told Pilate, "You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice."(John 18:37) Pilate didn't get it. Pilate responded, "What is truth?" Truth tells us that we are children of God, and our Father has prepared a glorious everlasting future for us! Truth is everything!

 Our Lenten journey has come to a close, but keep your feet moving. How close we come to heaven during our earthly life depends on our willingness to respond to the Spirit of Truth. Jesus tells us, "I am the Way, and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me."(John 14:6). So keep following Jesus' footprints, and today let your steps leap for joy!
