He Is Risen! Indeed, Nothing Has Changed That!

Easter, as different as the celebration is this year, is the same as it always has been in many ways. It is a celebration of Christ and salvation. I am overwhelmed with gratitude this Easter just as I am every Easter. I know it is probably the same for you.

This Easter has shown us something important...if our celebration is rote religion or relationship and true worship. If not being able to gather with others, get new clothes, and have the traditional lunch together complete with Easter egg hunts makes this holiday flat and depressing for us, maybe we aren’t celebrating the right thing. We may be disappointed to not see close family, especially the children, but the true joy of this Resurrection Sunday must be found in Christ, His sacrifice, and His victory over sin and death. Being able to strip away the busyness of this season and just focus on worship and gratitude has been a wonderful gift.

I pray many find true faith in Christ today. I thank God for how He is using this strange time to help many of us focus on Him. May this day bring true renewal, revival, and spiritual awakening to our world.

The same Power that rose Jesus from the dead is reaching out to hearts today.

I created a playlist on YouTube for our worship today. May it bless you as well: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjRpJAcKJSAx0oszhM_3fGBRp1T_9tkGb
