Now That
Easter Is Over
I
hope you had a good, even great Easter season.
I hope the chocolate bunnies were yummy, the eggs properly colored, and
tasty (if you eat them), and that your church experience was satisfying. And I hope, if your family gathers, as does
ours, that those times were rich in relationship love and esteeming moments.
And
now what?
Just
remember this … (1) the tomb is still empty, (2) Christianity, the fundamental
teachings of Christ, have survived all these years, and (3) God’s spirit,
released when the temple curtain was split down the middle, is still
present. It is omnipresent – universal,
all over.
It’s
the third point that demands a bit more conversation. We live in an age when it is now popular to
be considered a ‘spiritual person’. Some
have an antenna that easily detects God’s spirit, and others are somewhat
skeptical and receive a lesser signal. The
main point is this … God’s spirit is available to all of us. ALL! Do
we, you and I, have a receptive and open heart to take in all that the spirit
of God and the risen Christ has to offer?
And
what is this offer?
~An
awareness of His spirit
~An
acceptance of His redemption for wrong
~Help
along the pathway for EVERY situation we face
For
every point I have listed above, this fact remains … it all comes about through
faith. Faith that Christ was the son of
God, faith that He rose and left the empty tomb, faith that He forgives my
wayward heart and cleanses me when I ask and seek, and faith that He is with me
and ‘will never leave me nor forsake me’.
This
is how I’m conducting my life, now that Easter has happened.
