It is Saturday night and I am looking forward to tomorrow. Celebrating Jesus' resurrection the fact that He gives all of us the opportunity for a new life through HIs grace and mercy is just so exciting.
In addition to celebrating Jesus' resurrection tomorrow I will be celebrating my son's 5th birthday and five years ago he was born on Easter Sunday too. It is somewhat strange to celebrate his birthday at the same time that we celebrate Jesus' resurrection, but God choose it that way didn't He. Oh I know my little boy is a sinner like us all destined for Hell without Jesus' saving grace and mercy. However, he is such a blessing from God. God has showed me so much through my son. Teaching me even more so what a sinner I am and how I need to address my sinfulness with God. Thank You God, for sending my son to reveal so much sin in my life.
I hope that this Easter day you enjoy all that comes with it: baskets, eggs, candy, food, and dressing up. All those are the things this world has made Easter into and God allows us to enjoy them to a point. Just be sure you stop and take a moment to enjoy the presence of Christ. Before his death no one could enter the holy of holys and talk with God, but today all we must do is stop and take a moment to talk, read, praise, and most importantly listen to our savior. Enjoy this most precious gift at some point today.
