Thought For Today: “Easter Is More”
This Sunday Resurrection Sunday or what is commonly referred to as Easter, so I thought I share what Easter is REALLY all about
+ Easter is all about God’s power on full display.
+ Easter is all about the God of creation coming down and becoming one of us, becoming part of His creation.
+ Easter is all about God coming and sacrificing Himself for our sins, and then coming out of the grave and saying, “I’m alive and you can be alive too.”
+ Easter is a time to celebrate that our God is a powerful God.
+ Easter is a time to celebrate the fact that God entered this world and became a part of our history.
+ Easter is about the all-powerful God at work for us and in us.
+ Easter is about living forever in the presence of God.
+ Easter is our greatest victory because of what Jesus Christ did for us, as He died, was buried, and then rose on the third day.
+ Easter is about Jesus’s resurrection, and because of that we can have eternal life.

Absolutely, and thanks for this response. It isn’t used as much as it used to be. It is greatly appreciated.
Amen! The gospel message beautifully summed up. As for Easter being about the all-powerful God at work for us and in us, I am reminded Romans 8:11, ” But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.” With that, we not only have the hope of eternal life, but also to overcome all of life’s challenges, including despair, sickness, and every trial we find ourselves in. As a result we are able to live that abundant life that Jesus came to give. “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10). Because of Jesus’s resurrection, the enemy, Satan, no longer has that power over our lives for those of us who have received Jesus as Lord and Savior. Jesus has made us overcomers.
Thank you, Debbie, for the response. You have put it simply and with great Scriptural backing. See you Sunday.
