I am a Christian! I believe this is the most important distinction I can use! How about you? Do you have a faith to lean on? Are you searching for meaning in your life? There are three words that come to mind today - GOD IS LOVE. Oh, and how about these three? HE IS RISEN!
When we go through Holy Week, we are reminded that it started with great exultation. Next we are amongst Jesus' friends who are destined to betray him. We pray that we may be spared from the punishment that is meant to come. We watch as our Lord is beaten and crucified. We experience the darkness that followed. And then we are given the most glorious gift that God can give. We awake to Eternal Life! HE IS RISEN, and He loves us!
I think this Holy week is a parallel to our own lives. Each of us is celebrated upon our birth. We go through our lives with friends that may betray us. We might be the betrayers ourselves. We pray that we might be spared from a punishment that might banish us from Heaven. We all experience times of darkness in our lives. And then we are given the most glorious gift that God can give. We awake to the knowledge that we will have Eternal Life! HE IS RISEN, and He loves us!
My hope for each of you is that you understand that we must go through the darkness to get to the Light - and what a glorious Light it is!! Our journey going forward is to SPREAD THE WORD - that all it takes is those other three words: GOD LOVES US!
Many Easter Blessings to you and your families!
