He is risen, nothing to fear
The angel spoke to the women: “There is nothing to fear here. I know you're looking for Jesus, the One they nailed to the cross. He is not here. He was raised, just as he said …." Matthew 28:5-6
This Easter Sunday I am humbled with the newness that the Risen Christ brings to our lives. Being reminded of how His death conquered all that drags us down and truly brings me back to the roots of our faith and our freedom. The daily routines, issues, challenges, and habits of our lives can easily distract and pull us away from the life changing truth that is ours on a daily basis.
With renewed commitment today I want to share with you the words of Hebrews 12: 1-2
”Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus.”
1 Peter 1:13 shows us exactly how we can do this in our lives today and every day:
· Prepare your mind. Keep scripture fresh in your thoughts.
· Be self-controlled. Pay attention to where your focus lies.
· Set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
Let’s receive the grace offered to us on a daily basis, just for today, knowing that the trials of life are not the enemy. Rather the enemy of our soul tempts us to make the choice of becoming lost in the trail and fail to grasp the grace held out to us daily to sustain us through the trial.
So let’s run… with the grace given to us for today, and trust God with the tomorrows of our lives. His grace will meet us when we get to tomorrow.
Lord, Thank you that Christ is risen! Please help me today to walk in the power and grace of the risen Christ. Please let me always seek Your will and not be stifled by my own, Amen.
