April is upon us once again. Winter has passed and spring unfolds before our eyes. New life in nature is seen all around us and new life in the lives of people is what we pray for. God is at work and we thank Him for all that He is doing and will do!
As we gather each Sunday at church and study through the book of Ephesians we are learning much about how we should live. The page has been turned from what we are to believe to how we are to behave. We look at the life of Jesus Christ as our example.
Paul speaks of this in chapter 5 when he writes, “Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” (Ephesians 5:1)
Easter is the season of remembering what Jesus did for us. He demonstrated His great love and gave Himself up for us. He rescued us from our sin and the penalty that we were obligated to pay. He suffered in our place, was buried in the tomb, and then rose again from the dead…victorious over death, sin, and the grave!
What an incredible thing to remember and celebrate. He is risen…He is risen indeed!
