Up From The Grave He Arose!!

The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Matthew 28:5-6
My three favorite holidays are Easter, Christmas, and The Fourth of July. All symbolize freedom and Jesus! So here we are at another Easter Sunday. An Air Force Chaplain friend of mine used to refer to people who attended church twice a year, meaning Christmas and Easter, as holly and lily Christians. 

Somewhere deep down in the heart of all mankind there is a God shaped hole and only can be filled with Christ. Many deny him entirely or skirt around making excuses. Still others know they need to be more committed and somehow seem to get to church for ‘religious’ holidays. That is nice that conviction is upon them as that is the first step to transforming of hearts. Still others may be stuck in a denominational rut with no real desire for Christ. 

Where are you at today? Have you truly asked Jesus to be your Lord and savior or were you simply raised in church and maybe baptized as an infant and went through some ceremony but still deep down you know you really never experienced a change? You may feel ‘religious’ but not really in love with Jesus. All that can change if you want it to. Don’t allow Satan to lie to you to keep you from experiencing all there is in Christ. 

PRAYER: I am grateful I was raised in church and was not a ‘bad’ person but then one day I was born again and got hungry for you Lord. I pray for anyone reading this and those who are not who need to turn 100 % to you and have a transformation in their hearts. Don’t allow Satan to lie to those who are lost. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
