Resurrection

Resurrection

I absolutely enjoy Resurrection Sunday and this time year. I'm also passionate (Lord make me MORE passionate) about us actually making Resurrection Sunday, and the entire season, about what it should be about. 

You see, it's not about bunnies and eggs. It's about Jesus! And I might add celebrating Jesus' Crucifixion and Resurrection is NOT supposed to be limited to one week of the year! It's mean to be celebrated and embraced in our lives every single day!

Let's endeavor to make this Resurrection what it's supposed to be! Let's dive right in and celebrate in all the special ways the Holy Spirit leads that actually represent Jesus! We should be just as enthusiastic about this holiday as we are Christmas, Thanksgiving, and The Fourth of July!

Today, I want to share with you a little tradition (and something I highly recommend for everyone) that I started last year and I'm doing again this year. The weeks leading up to Resurrection Sunday I read about the death, burial, and Resurrection of our Lord and Savior over and over again. In all four Gospels. I really try to study it deeply, first by reading it over and over again, and really reading what it says. And then by writing notes of certain things that stood out to me. This year I'm writing out the KEY thing that stood out to me in the chapters I read. It's so refreshing, joyful, and just wonderful to dedicate your time to just reading about that very important event in History. It really refreshes me in Jesus' sacrifice, more than just reading it every so often, and reminds me of the worth of His sacrifice. And how it's enough to cover everything and anything.

Hallelujah!

He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

Matthew 28:6
