We recently celebrated Easter and, even though things did not look exactly like what we’re used to without our usual family gatherings and church services, we still should remember the real meaning of Easter.
Easter celebrates Jesus rising from the dead, and there is not a more appropriate time to remember that than today! Think about it… Jesus rising from the dead represents how He overcame the most final of circumstances, the darkest, what is meant to be the end. Because He overcame death, we have hope! The hope that we too can overcome through our faith in Him. That no matter how dark the situation seems today and how uncertain it seems for tomorrow, He overcame and, because of that, we can too!
1 John 4:4 says “You, dear children, are from God and have overcome, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” Having Jesus in our hearts means we have access to His power to overcome whatever comes our way, and that certainly includes this pandemic our world is facing and any other challenge you face today.
Let’s remember the power of Jesus not just at Easter time, but throughout the year! Jesus sent us a Helper as described in John 15:26 “I will send you the Helper from the Father. The Helper is the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father. When he comes, he will tell about me.”
So Jesus has provided us everything we need to conquer and win in this sometimes challenging and chaotic world. I hope this encouraged you today to strive to be your best self through the power of Jesus!
