Great Expectation

1 Peter 1:3-4 NLT, “All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay.”

Praise God for the living hope we have through our risen Savior, Jesus Christ! I pray the power of His resurrection would give you strength to live each day and that your heart would be filled with abundant joy and great expectation.

Have a blessed Easter!

Jesus Got Up!

1 Peter 1:3-5 NIV, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.”

I love these verses from 1 Peter. And I love that death was not the final answer. But our Savior got up! Because He got up from the grave, so can we. Plus we can get up each day and go forward in His love, mercy and goodness. We can get up and proclaim the living hope we have in Jesus Christ, right in the midst of life’s ups and downs.

I pray that the resurrection of Jesus Christ will lead you to live a life of surrender, obedience and perseverance. And I hope that even in the smallest things, His love would be evident to you, as you live freely in His resurrection power.

Romans 4:25 NLT, “He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God.”

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Have a blessed Easter! 🕊️

Happy Easter!

Wishing you a Happy Easter! Jesus Christ has overcome the grave. Our Savior is risen!

Matthew 28:6, “He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.”

He Has Risen

Matthew 28:6 NIV, “He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.”

May the joy of the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord be yours today and everyday! Because He came, lived, died and rose, we have victory and eternal life.

Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice.

Because He Lives

Yesterday morning I asked the Lord what I should say today, and the words to this song written by Bill and Gloria Gaither came to my mind…

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.

Then later on, I discovered that my big brother Matt at Jesusluvsall Blog had written a post called, “Jesus Lives” that included the words to this same song.

I believe that the words to this song are one of God’s messages to us today, “because He lives we can face tomorrow.” We can move forward each day in faith knowing that because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we can face today and tomorrow without fear. He will provide all we need when we trust in Him.

Jesus is the name that saves, the name that is above all names, and all power is in His hands. Life is worth the living just because He lives. Happy Resurrection Sunday! May the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ empower you daily as you continue to boldly follow Him. May His peace guard your heart and mind.

Matthew 28:6 NIV, “He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.”

Because Love Rose

He died, but I’m so thankful that He also rose. Because the tomb is empty, we have victory. He defeated death, therefore we can have life. True life. Abundant life. We are free, because Love rose.

Matthew 28:6 (NIV), “He is not here; he is risen, just as he said…”

We serve a Risen Savior! He doesn’t just give us love, but He is Love.

May the joy, power, and love of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you always.

Have a Blessed Resurrection Sunday!

Jesus Lives!
