Easter is my favorite holiday because nothing compares to the glory of Christ’s resurrection. Today, I’m soaking up the beauty of the springtime flowers and pondering how grateful I am for the cross of Christ.
With overwhelming gratitude, I feel like climbing to the top of the mountain where I live and shouting, “JESUS IS ALIVE!” I’m not sure if I will shout from the mountaintop, but I will always shout praises to Jesus during times of worship at home and gatherings with other believers.
Without the resurrection of Christ, we would be bound to spiritual death. Because of Christ’s resurrection, we are given new life and awakened spiritually by the same power that raised Jesus back to life. The resurrection of Christ is what empowers us to live fully alive and remain spiritually awake every day.
There is nothing more exciting than being fully alive and awakened by the Spirit of God. My prayer is that countless people will experience awakening and new life in Christ today.
LORD,
Thank You for dying on the cross so that we may have eternal life and live free from sin. Thank You for awakening us with Your resurrection power and giving us new life in You. Renew our spirits and help us live every moment fully awakened in Christ. Help us live a life of repentance and let us turn away from the things that deaden our spirit. Fill us with more of Your Holy Spirit so that our soul will stay fully awakened and let us soar like the wings of eagles eternally.
Bring hope and life to countless people today. Let the greatest spiritual awakening known to mankind come forth during the days ahead. We await Your second coming with excitement and joy. Thank You, Jesus. Amen.
Happy Easter!
