Signs of LIFE greet us as trees bud and Spring flowers lift their heads
skyward.
This time of year is always welcome after
the cold stark winter weather.
LIFE
A beautiful word!

LIFE
It feels good to get out into the garden and clear away the dead
remnants of the winter, to prepare the soil for the emergence of new growth, to
plant and water and watch.
But so many people are walking around with dead barrenness of the soul,
when they could be experiencing LIFE!
This is the message of Easter! Jesus died and rose again so that we
could have LIFE, and have it more
abundantly! (John 10:10) He came to make us ALIVE when we were dead in trespasses and sins. (Ephesians 2:1) At
the tomb of Lazarus Jesus said to Martha, “I am the resurrection and the LIFE.
He who believes in Me, though he may die, yet shall he LIVE.” (John 11:25) And
in the words of the most well-known of all Scriptures John writes, “For God so
loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in
Him should not perish but have everlasting LIFE.”
(John 3:15). “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal LIFE through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
(Romans 3:23) From His death on the cross, and the power of the resurrection comes the hope of eternal LIFE. And
it’s all because of Jesus!
It’s a choice. This Easter choose LIFE!
