Easter morning my pastor spoke of HOPE. That we Christians can offer something other faiths, money, things, and often people simply cannot – an everlasting hope in the resurrected Jesus. I often wonder what it was like for Peter – how he must have felt that moment – when he realized that his Lord was back from the grave. Oh, the triumph of it all…the joy!
How wonderful it is that our God offers such goodness to us to offer to others rather than rules, regulations, legalism, certain behaviors, and distant, cool reserve. Our Jesus CAME TO US, down to our level where He could touch humanity, then knowing who we are, He chose to free us through His death. That is the power of true love.
Thank you Father! Thank you Jesus!
With gratitude,
Sue
