Easter Sunday

Christ is Risen

On Friday, death and anguish

On Saturday, despair.

But they still met together, wondering in their grief. 

Jesus had told them " In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me. I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy." (John 16:19-20)

On Sunday Jesus appeared to His disciples. Just as He had said, His presence filled them with unspeakable joy.

Because He died and rose again, honouring His Heavenly Father, we have the promise of eternal relationship with God- our Father, Jesus Christ His Son, and His Holy Spirit. 

We have the certainty of God's presence in our lives.

We have hope.

We have eternal life.

"Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.
He who was seated on the throne said "I am making all things new." (Revelation 21:3-5)

I pray that this Easter God will fill you with a sense of His presence and a fresh hope for your life as you commit yourself anew to Him.
