Bunnies. Tulips. Peeps. Eggs. Plastic grass. It's beginning to look a lot like Easter!
Easter is a time of light, of new life, of extra sunshine. Of longer days, of flip-flops, of a bounce in your step. It's a goodbye to winter and a heLLO to spring!
And most of all, it's a time for me to remember Jesus' love, sacrifice, and resurrection...not to mention the incredible HOPE I have in Christ.
No matter what's happening around me, no matter what my mood is or what the weather's doing or if there's chocolate in the house... I have peace with God. And that's worth singing about!
"Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through Him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person - though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die - but God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinnners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by His life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation." Romans 5:1-11
