Scripture: Romans 6:10
The death he died, he died to sin, once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.
Thought for the Day: As we reflect upon Christ’s resurrection, it is easy to leap to our own mortality and the desire for there to be something beyond this life. Don’t get me wrong, I believe God brings us into the divine presence at death! But often the passages we point to as hope for our home beyond this world are in fact passages about new life in the here and now. In light of the resurrection, we have a life to live. It is the new life found in Christ, who has broken the cycle of sin through his act of love. It is important for us to find peace in regard to what happens at the point of death, but let’s not delay our resurrection to new life. Let us not wait until our life on this planet comes to an end. Today is the resurrection day, and it is time for Christians everywhere to live resurrection without delay.
Prayer: Hallelujah! Christ is risen! Now God, let me go beyond celebrating what this means for me at the point of my death, and begin living a life of resurrection on this Easter day, 2013. Amen.
Join us this morning…
