HE AROSE AND LIVES IN MY HEART TODAY

Have you ever taken time to ponder what you would do if you knew this was your last week on earth? Most of us haven't thought much about it. We find ourselves making preparation for the week ahead with family and friends to be together in church or maybe to gather and have quality family time.

Jesus knew his time was short on the earth. We find him busy continuing to prepare his disciples for what lay ahead. There is no way they could comprehend it at this time. We would find it hard to understand if when someone was to tell us, "I'm going away, I will be betrayed by one of my friends, and I will die."

Let's take a moment and appreciate the magnitude of what Jesus did for us that day. He willingly laid down his life and arose on the third day conquering death and the grave. It's a great time for us to celebrate his life and thank him for his love as he shed his blood for our sins.

Jesus was the only acceptable sacrifice. He was without blemish. We could not be the sacrifice because we have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Oh, what a Savior! Jesus our Lord did it all for you and me. Now, it's up to us to come to him, ask forgiveness, repent of our sins, receive his forgiveness and walk in him.

Why does man make it so difficult and complicated? Jesus has paid the price. Man simply needs to get on board of that train bound for heaven. If you don't believe in the blood of Jesus, if you're too busy to accept his free gift of Salvation, I really feel sorry for you. Why waste your time in foolishness just to pass the time away? The price you pay will be far more than it's worth.

I pray during all your hustle and bustle this week getting ready for the many events like the Easter Parade, the Easter Play, the Easter Cantata, and perhaps a egg hunt that you take time to commune with our Lord. Remember when you take communion he said "as oft as you do this you do it in remembrance of me."

I want to remember him this week and let him know I love him. How about you?

I John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
