Easter On Our Mind
Easter is on the minds of
Jesus’s followers. Surrounded by new life – budding flowers, emerging leaves, and
a rejoicing sun, at springtime, we are drawn to contemplate the amazing kindness
of God. Though we have so often failed to walk
His way, His mercy rings out and His forgiveness calls softly saying we are His
beloved children. Fixing our eyes on the wondrous cross, where Jesus sacrificed
His life and recalling the empty tomb where He was once laid is cause to
worship the One who gave up His son for our freedom from sin.
God’s love so deep He designed
a plan to preserve us for eternity. Jesus agreed to the plan giving His life’s
blood for the forgiveness of our sin (Hebrews 12:2). It was required once and
covered all that accept this gift of forgiveness. No matter our past, present,
or future He has shed His innocent blood for our guilty soul. He remembers(d)
us and with grace proves(d) His love. Easter – a time to consider deeply God’s
riches at Christ’s expense.

Ephesians 1:7 (NLT)
He is so rich in kindness and
grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and
forgave our sins.
