A reminder for
today
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised
for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his
stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5)
This weekend Christians all over the world will celebrate
the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. But what does the resurrection mean
to you? Do you go to church and then have an Easter egg hunt? Do you celebrate
and next week everything is back to normal?
I have written to you earlier in the month about Easter versus
Passover and what do we really celebrate. For me the risen Jesus has more
meaning than just this weekend with the two public holidays. You see the
resurrection of our Lord is something I carry with me every day. It is the gospel
and the very foundation of our religion.
None of the apostles celebrated easter anywhere in the
Bible, instead they risked their lives to carry the gospel to people all over
the world facing death and danger at every step of the way. This is the true gospel
to me. What do you do to contribute to the kingdom of God? You can eat all the
easter eggs in world, but it will have no meaning, but you can share the gospel
with one person and it is life changing.
Are you a weekend Christian or are you an all out fearless gospel
carrier and warrior for the Lord? I do not want to conform to this world and I do
not want to be influenced by this world and what the masses think we should do.
I want to be influenced by Jesus Christ and His word. I want to stand out and be
different from the norm. I want to shine for His glory and show His love every
day of my life. I do not want to be misled by the lies of the enemy, but I want
to live in the truth and the life that is Jesus Christ.
I want to be the one the enemy hates and the one that other
will see and desire to have what I have. I want them to see Jesus in me and not
only when everyone else suddenly buys easter eggs. I want to be a light in the
darkness and the voice of Jesus. I want to share His gospel and touch lives and
lead people to the Lord.
He is my eternal, immortal and invincible God. He is my King
and my God, and I worship Him alone.
Lord, we are so grateful for what you did for us on that
cross. Please give us the strength and wisdom to carry your gospel through all the
storms this life can throw at us. In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
