Easter

easter weekend is a time for christians to focus on and celebrate a risen savior, for without the resurrection of christ, our faith would be futile.

paul writes in 1 corinthians 15: 13-14, 17-19, "but if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even christ has been raised. and if christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain...and if christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. then those also who have fallen asleep in christ have perished. if in christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied." 

praise the lord for a risen savior! christ has risen from the dead and we have cause for celebration. our risen savior should not only be celebrated on easter weekend, but every day of our lives! because of christ's death and resurrection we are able to live with him in eternity. my prayer for the coming year is that christ's atoning sacrifice would be at the forefront of my mind not just on easter weekend but in my daily life. i want his sacrifice to shape my life as i continue to strive to bring glory to a risen savior. 

christ the lord has risen today! hallelujah!
