Easter 2017. I marvel at the message the cross – I’m
challenged to love others with the incredible love I’ve received.
I marvel at the message of
Resurrection. Because
of it, I live with expectation and joy that dying is simply changing addresses.
This assurance of eternity ends fear.
I marvel at Jesus. He endured being humiliated,
betrayed, scorned and scourged with non-stop compassion.
I ponder
Him, my hero and example, Jesus who lifts people up. In His honor I want to be
a lifter-upper of others not a drain-downer.
I marvel at the idea of living
Easter,
spreading this Resurrection message all year.
Keeping Jesus in mind when I go through the McDonald’s drive-thru or
chat with a store clerk – finding words to express their specialness, being
other-focused, a person who walks through life helping people, as Jesus did.
Pointing always to the Father and exalting the work of the Holy Spirit.
I marvel at God’s Creation - buds formed to burst, flowers
unfolding, children laughing in play. Signs and sounds of new life are
everywhere if I look and listen.
I marvel at Easter truth. In Christ, through Christ and for Christ all things were made
including you and me [to live forever.] How awesome! Colossians
1:16
