Easter’s over, the crowds have dispersed, eggs found, rabbits eaten, services conducted, Monday came and went…now what?
Maybe the answer lies in how Monday went. Did it seem like Easter to you? Were you walking in the shadow of the Resurrection? Was it filled with hope and grace, forgiveness and joy?
It’s so easy to forget that Easter is not a one time a year thing, but for those who have been transformed by the power of the Spirit of God because of the satisfaction of the Father’s righteous wrath towards sin, every day is Easter! Everyday is marked by the forgiveness of Christ so that today I can take a deep breath and, with hope rather than dread, embrace the adventure that is “today”.
Whatever you’re dealing with today, if you’ve trusted in the One who overcame death, deal with it with the resurrection power that is able to say, “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”
Death couldn’t defeat Christ and, because of that, you and I “are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” (Romans 8:37, with context)
