Easter

Easter is almost upon us. The day we spend to celebrate Jesus' resurrection. Wow, did I really just write that? We spend one day a year celebrating Jesus' resurrection from the dead? Just amazing! Shouldn't this kind of giant miracle be an all-consuming aspect of our lives? As followers of Jesus, this culmination of His work should be something we celebrate daily, hourly, minutely!

Yet all too often we relegate our celebration to one day a year. One day. Then we even take it further...we celebrate for an hour at church, have dinner as a family and "Easter is over."

As Jesus followers, this time, this final part of all He has done for us, should be in our thoughts daily. Without the resurrection, the story doesn't have a very good ending. We need to hear about the resurrection of Jesus, we need the resurrection.

As we go through the remainder of this week, let's consider that thought. Whenever you take the time to spend a few minutes in prayer or contemplation, let us consider the resurrection and whether that has all the importance of one day in our lives or if it consumes our lives.
