He is Risen
Happy Easter.
Today Stephen will find his first Easter basket.. full of little gifts from his parents and grandparents (even his adoptive English grandma). It will be a time of fun and joy... but as he grows we want him to lear That there is more to this day than waking up to find a few treats. We want him to know that this is the day that allows us to wake up with joy every morning.
We were part of a small good Friday service where we took part in the Lords supper and remembered his suffering, because today it's his triumph we want to celebrate.
I often forget that when Jesus was hanging on that cross his disciples didn't know Sunday was coming. They were stuck on Friday all weekend. Sunday morning came and they were still living Fridays pain...
But...
Like we shared during the message on Tuesday, Jesus rose! They went to bed completely different on Sunday night as they woke up. They went to sleep with a faith that wouldn't fail them, a hope that wouldn't leave them and a joy that no one would understand.
It's because He has risen that our faith stands the test and prevails. I love the song that goes 'oh death where now is your sting'
It was lost that 3rd day... when my savior rose from the grave...
We hope your family has a Easter filled with love, joy, and faith that are all unshakable because He lives.
