Our Promise

 

We have a Promise. We have been given much. Sometimes it doesn't feel that way. We can't hold it, touch it or see it. And this gift given to us was from many years ago. It has been freely given and handed down to us as God's people, his child. 

Today is Easter. We celebrate that gift today. Not the easter bunny, but Christ. His sacrifice for us, for me. We are not worthy of this, but he loves us so much that he did this for us, those in his present time and those of us to come later. He loves us even though we are sinners. Romans 5:8 says, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." John 3:16 states, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." 

HE overcame death so we can have life, life eternal with him. Trust in him. Live a life for him. With Jesus, we can overcome anything. 

So while you are out today, celebrating with family and friends, hunting down those easter eggs (like me!) and putting on your easter clothes (not me, just jeans!), remember what today is really about....Our saviour and the greatest gift of all...forgiveness and love. 

John 16:33 says: "I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But be courageous; I have overcome the world."

Love to all,
