Easter Sunday :: The Day Worth Waiting For...

this is the day.

this is the point.

everything made new.

the beginning of restoring God's creation back to its intended state.

i love that after Jesus rose from the dead
He appeared personally to all of those He was closest to.

i think this was for two reasons:
1) to let them know He was alive and fulfilled what His promise.
2) to let them know the message of the kingdom was now theirs to carry.

to show His love for them and to comission them...to pass the torch.

this day is so full of beauty.
all hope fulfilled.
all love expressed.
all sin erased.
all life made new.
all truth entrusted to us.

it's a day the Father showed us how much He wants to pour into us
and how much He wants to do through us.

we are brand new each day.
we are loved beyond belief.
we are entrusted with the most important message ever known.

may we wake up every day knowing these things,
believing them,
and living them.

not just today.
but every day.

we have the opportunity to celebrate Easter in the way we
love Jesus and love others every day of our lives.

re-thinking the Gospel.
re-grasping grace.
re-absorbing love.
re-realizing our call.
re-volutionizing the world.

thank You...

THANK YOU.
