Happy Easter!

As a believer, I consider it an immense blessing to be able to celebrate the fact that I serve a God who is ALIVE! He is not dead, bones lying in a tomb somewhere. He is seated on the throne at the right hand of the Father, as we see in Luke 22:69: "But from now on the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God." He is very, very much alive and active in our lives! He is HERE, with us, every moment of every day. He is changing lives by the minute!

So however you spend the day today, know that you are loved immensely by the God of the universe who created you in your mother's womb, a God who was greater even than death!

"But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen..." 
Luke 24:1-6 (emphasis mine)

Thank you, Jesus, that you submitted to death in order to free me, to offer me abundant life. Thank you for being more powerful than death!

Thank you, Jesus, for your work. We praise you!
