Raised up

 HI there – Today I wish all readers a happy and blessed Easter with this word:

Then he (the criminal sentenced to die on a cross) said to Jesus, “Remember me when You come into power!” Jesus replied, “I promise that today you will be with me in paradise.” – Luke 23: 42 - 43

AT Easter, Jesus’s suffering on the cross should always be a reminder of how much God loves you. Whatever it is that buckles you, has overcome you, stresses you and weakens your faith, know that God sent Jesus to die in agony on the cross, so that lesser beings – like the criminal who turned to Jesus at Calvary - who find faith in Him can be raised from their own stricken lives and sufferings to reign with Him forever. That is what Easter is all about, so put away any doubts about Christ; instead rejoice and be strengthened this Easter. Christ died for you and now lives in you.

 He has risen.
