Hello girls! Easter is just a few short days away. I hope that you have had a chance to start thinking about why we celebrate Easter in the first place! It really has nothing to do with our Easter dresses (even though it is fun to get a new one), or the baskets filled with candy and other surprises, or even the fun Easter egg hunts, but it is all about the ONE who came to this Earth for one purpose only: to die a brutal death on a wooden cross to take away our sins so we can have a relationship with our Heavenly Father and one day spend eternity with Him. WOW!
Think about this quote:
"When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died, my richest gain I count but lost. And pour contempt on all my pride." ~Isaac Watts
There is no power in the cross, but rather the One who died on it. There is no power in the empty tomb, but rather the one who got up and walked out of it. There is no real power in a person's life except the power of Christ within.
Take time to read John 20:1-18 about the Empty Tomb and Jesus appearing to Mary Magdalene. Allow time to let it sink in...
Praise God the tomb is empty! Christ has risen from the dead! He is alive!
Here is a challenge for you this week:
Find three different crosses in three different places sometime before Easter Sunday. Snap a picture of them with your phone. Let the three crosses remind you that after three days in the grave, Jesus arose and defeated death. Once you find all three, share your photos on social media and tell the world that Jesus' is alive! You can also send the pictures to me and I will share them on the blog!
Loving Jesus together,
Morgan
"Finally the other disciple also went inside. He saw and believed." ~John 20:8
