Easter

Good Friday for too many is a good excuse for a day off, a head start to a long weekend, or the anticipation of the Easter bunny. However, for us, we get to celebrate the death & resurrection of Christ Jesus this weekend. What a glorious thing we get to celebrate!

May we be reminded of the cross through the lyrics of the Old Rugged Cross.

In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine, a wondrous beauty I see, for 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died, to pardon and sanctify me.

What a beautiful message we can find in the cross of Jesus Christ. May we simply remember John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he sent his only son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Today let us each remember the real meaning of Easter. Imagine the cross and Christ’s death on that cross. Remember how he came to this world to die on a cross for our salvation. Let us anxiously await the returning of our King!

I pray that each of you has a joyous Easter weekend!

Because of Calvary,

Jesus Provides during a drought.

In times of drought there are lessons to be learned for all of us. One example would be the story of Jesus in the wilderness where he fed five-thousand people. Before he performed the miracle of multiplication, he instructed the gigantic crowd to split up into groups of fifty. After they were split into smaller groups he asked that they all sit down. By sitting down the crowd showed that they had patience for and trust in Jesus Christ. After they sat Jesus multiplied the bread and the fish. The crowd started with just five loaves of bread and two fish, but they watched in disbelief as Jesus performed a miracle. With a minimal amount of food he was able to feed thousands of hungry people!

Now take this story and apply it to this financial drought. Imagine that God is asking us to wait patiently on him and focus our attention to him.

In times like this we MUST remember, Christ is our providing Lord, EVEN in the unknown wilderness.
