As Christians the holiday Easter has so much meaning to us. We understand that Jesus had to die for us, and for this we should be so thankful. My heart ponders how it must have been so exciting and breathtaking when the tomb was found empty. Oh the joy of knowing He has risen!
For the past week I have been sharing from the love chapter, 1 Corinthians 13. Today I want you to focus on Him who made it possible for us to not only be redeemed from our sins but He desires to empower us to live as He lived. He wants us to walk as He walked, and do even greater works than He did!
1 John 2:6- The Voice translation
Anyone who says,
“I live in intimacy with Him,” should walk the path Jesus walked.
NIV – “Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.”
NLT – “Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.”
I want to encourage your heart today to believe that He can empower you to walk as He walked. May we permit Him to continue to mold us into His image that He can uniquely use us as we live our days on this earth. My friend, there is so much to be done, and there are so many that need to be reached. Today, let our hearts rejoice as we celebrate our risen Lord, and let us live to touch a lost and dying world as His unfailing love flows through us!
