It is Easter again, Praise God.
Beyond the church services, effigies and role playing, I am reminded and awed by God’s ability. God and not evolution created the Heavens and Earth. He’s also the Savior who has redeemed us from eternity in hell.
But if that’s all we are conscious of, we may miss out / fail to benefit from His ability. And that’s the essence of Easter; to serve as our reminder.
If we believe in Easter and we celebrate it, then Romans 8:11 stands true that If the Spirit of Him that has raised up Jesus from among the dead dwell in you, He that has raised up Christ from among the dead shall quicken your mortal bodies also on account of His Spirit which dwells in you.
I thank God for Easter. But I do more than thank. I ask that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of our understanding being enlightened; that we may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in (us) the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come .And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all - Ephesians 1:17-23.
Do you believe in Easter? ‘If the Spirit of Easter dwells in us, He shall quicken our mortal bodies also on account of His Spirit which dwells in us.’
Do you carry His Spirit? Then ‘quickened mortal bodies’ and ‘enlightened eyes of understanding’ are our privileges as Children of God.
Is there a part of your life that needs quickening? Some of mine does…. Factor in the reminder.
Love, Janmo!
