Easter

He is Risen!

Does that send chills up your spine?

Does it fill you with a sense of wonder? Expectation? Fear? Joy? Thankfulness?

The emotion I feel when I hear "He is Risen" has changed over the years. As a child, Easter was more about the Easter bunny and the candy he brought. In highschool, Easter was synonomous with Spring Break, a mini vacation from the trudgery of school. But now it rings of salvation. Miracles. It's the cornerstone of our faith.

The path of Lent has ended and the burdens of our sacrifices are lifted. The strength we've gained from them is rewarded in the enhanced wisdom of God's gift of love.

For God so loved the world that he sent is only Son, that who ever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Happy Easter!!!
