Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. – 1 John 4:11
Easter is a time of celebration! A time to rejoice in and share the Lord’s victory over sin, death, and hell. The Father brought total restoration to the broken body of the Son through His Spirit, resurrecting Him to spread this good news to His disciples and to the whole world. Looking around at the world today, it is easy to see that humanity is still broken and in need of God’s restoration and transformation. So, as the Lord’s victory has not yet been fully manifested in this world, what is to be done until His return? In this time between the here and not yet, follow the examples of the disciples. Encourage all believers around you in faith. Allow for time to mourn, comforting those who are hurting. And proclaim to the world that Jesus Christ has risen, showing the power that the Lord’s victory presently has and will have over all things.
As the Lord leads, pray with us…
- For the president and his Cabinet members to seek God’s guidance in the affairs before them today.
- For judges and justices of the federal judiciary to uphold the Constitution and federal law as the earth awaits the Savior’s return.
