Happy Easter to the world.
We don't celebrate Easter for the colorful eggs, jelly beans, or the Easter bunny (btw... shouldn't the thought of an oversized bunny coming into your house in the middle of the night scare any little kid?). We celebrate Easter because of Jesus - pure and simple!
The power of God on display in the flesh - Jesus' righteous life on display. God became man. Light in the darkness. Yet, the world neither recognized nor received him. Instead, they tried him as a common criminal, exchanged him in order to free a murderer, and hung him on a cross until he died the most humiliating death one could imagine. Good Friday.
This was not the end. Sunday morning. Jesus rose from the dead on the third day. Good Sunday. Great Easter.
The power of God on display in flesh. God breathed life and healing back into a broken and beaten body.
Paul declared in Ephesians 1:19-20 that we have that same resurrection power available to us. I want the power of God on display in my life. This is my Easter prayer. I pray that God would continue to work his mighty power in my heart and that my life would show Christ's love in such a way that He only gets the attention and praise.
Happy Easter.
