John 11:25-26

“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this’”

Throughout the season of Easter, it is easy to get caught up in all the activities and events, forgetting the reason for the events in the first place. Jesus died for our sins on the cross, in order for us to have everlasting life. It is through this sacrifice that Jesus has power over life and death. Because he created life, he can also restore it. How can we not commit our lives over to Jesus when we realize the wonder and power of his offer to us, eternal life, and a personal relationship with God. “Because I live, you will also live.” (John 14:19). What a gift we have in Jesus. How are you celebrating Jesus during this season of Easter?

Dear God, thank you for the gift of life. Help me to appreciate all that you do for me. Give me your eyes and ears to know who needs to hear a word from you. Give me wisdom to speak out your truths. Help me to be courageous and strong when sharing your love for others. Thank you that you love me enough to die for my sins. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
