When I think of Easter, My heart leaps with Joy. When I think about the savior who died for me and that the power that raised Christ from the dead is at work within me. Christ’s death and resurrection gives me hope to live a victorious life, a life of triumph knowing that Christ died and now I am free. It is a good reminder of the authority bestowed unto us as children of God. His death and resurrection most of all gives me hope beyond the grave.
Now tell me, what are we telling our children about Easter? Is it all about vacations, shopping, easter eggs and bunnies (this is a foreign concept in Africa but it is easily getting it’s way in- all we know is that eggs are to be eaten! Full stop)? Is it like Phew!- I am not working today! Am not saying that we should not do all these things, actually I am headed to Malindi for some days off with my lovely family and a couple of other great friends. But most of all, I want my children to remember Easter, not for the vacations, eggs and bunnies- but for the awesome redemption work of the cross. I am still trying to figure out how to do that apart from sharing bible story before bed time, just to bring it to their level, any ideas?
Thank you for the cross Lord
Thank you for the price you paid,
Bearing all my sin and shame, in love you came and gave amazing grace.
I love to love you Lord.
