I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter celebrating our risen Savior!
I'd like to share a post I read over the weekend--written by one of my favs, Jen Hatmaker.
(We are BFF... she just doesn't know it yet.)
It rocked me to my core.
It put into writing how my heart feels about the voluntary suffering of Jesus, His obedience and fulfillment of God's plan in His crucifixion, His victorious resurrection, and what our authentic intention and true mindset should be on Easter.
"I want to ascribe to Jesus all the glory he was denied when they mocked his kingship and crushed his body. The crown of thorns, the robe on open flesh, the taunts of false worship, the sign above his head ridiculing his position…I find myself declaring his authority in defiance; Jesus is King, Lord of All, The First and the Last, The Bright and Morning Star, The Head of Every Man, I AM. May his glory eternally surpass his suffering, for he has saved the world and saved our lives. Let all the earth rejoice, for the Lamb became the King and grace beat back the darkness."
May I never grow desensitized to the power and goodness of The Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Have a blessed week!
Because HE LIVES I can face tomorrow.
Because HE LIVES all fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future.
And life is worth the living just because HE LIVES!
