HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY!

I posted a message earlier today, only to find it didn't actually post. I hope that everyone enjoyed their day and celebrated it for its true significance. For some, Christmas is the most important holiday, celebrating the birth of Jesus. However, Resurrection Sunday should hold at least equal, if not even greater importance to our faith and our lives. Jesus triumphed over death! He rose with all power and is seated in heaven with the Father. I am so thankful for His sacrifice and thankful that His Spirit lives inside of me and all those who know Him as Lord and Savior.

In John 16:33(NLT)  Jesus said, " Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world."
 
My hope is that we all remember this not just today but every day. There is great power in the name of Jesus. Rejoice in knowing that we do not walk alone, but our Savior walks with us. Call on Him, cry out to Him!  If the story of His life, crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection teaches us anything, it's certainly that He knows about all the things we face. He cares deeply for us and can deliver us from all that we encounter.
