Blessed, Holy, Happy Easter!
Easter is our
favorite holy holi-day –because it’s all about the resurrected Jesus.
The One by whose
stripes we are healed.
The Jesus who answered
our fervent prayers to cure cancer in our son almost thirty years ago enabling
David to teach countless young people to love God and value the historical
roots of our nation. The son I just spoke to on the phone who with his
faith-filled wife Kathy parents Anna and Joshua, also miracles. The real Jesus
Who doesn't always heal, but always works good for those who love
Him and live according to His purpose.
Jesus the One our son
Dan and his wife Stephanie dramatically portrayed to a thousand wide-eyed kids
last Saturday.
Jesus the amazing One
who comforted our daughter Tamara when she lost her 24-year-old son a year ago
and empowered our grieving grandson Jack to finish his medical studies.
Jesus the One and Only
who motivates our daughter Pam and her husband John and adult children Katie,
Steven and DJ to teach about Him in their sports ministry to young people and perform
their roles at work for His honor.
Jesus the one I seek to honor in all my
writing like Bullet in the Night, my new mystery novel. The
publisher pre-launched it during the Easter season for amazon pre-order at discount until official launch April 30th - it’s a story
of redemption.
Easter helps us take a
fresh look at what the Resurrection means in our twenty-four hour daily doings.
What would the living
Jesus say if He entered our living rooms today? Might He say:
Keep the joy, speak the truth and love others? Doesn't this mixed-up world need
more joy and truth and love!
Maybe we won't see
Jesus in our living rooms, but He's always willing to be a heart-dweller in
those who allow Him entrance. Is there room in yours? Does your heart get
cluttered like ours at times?
There's no better
time to get spruced up again and Jesus aware. How about a spiritual spring
cleaning before tomorrow’s holy holi-day?
Life, death, loss,
giftings. We all have reason to say Alleluia Jesus lives.
