"DO YOU HAVE A REASON TO CELEBRATE?"

"He stayed on the cross.....for His life was a gift to all humankind." I honestly have a hard time comprehending the love of God at times. Why would God give His Son to die for humanity, even when He knew many would not receive Him? That my friend is why God is God and we are not. His grace and mercy is much more than any of us deserve. Just when the devil thought it was over...Jesus rises up out of that tomb. His life is our eternal life. There has never been, not even now, nor will it ever be another Jesus. He is the ONLY WAY to the Father. Jesus' life was a gift to all those that will receive Him. But, that is the key, we must receive this precious gift. It's more than knowing that Jesus did indeed die for you, but you much embrace Him and accept this awesome redemption from sin.

Mark 15:37,38.

"And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom."

That veil was present in the Holy place to keep us out. Only the high priest could enter once his preparations were complete. But, when Jesus took His last breath, the very moment of His death, torn that veil into allowing you and I to come into the very presence of God. WOW, what more do we need. Listen I'm not belittling your struggles today, but hey friend, there was a price paid for you to walk in victory!! That's shouting ground!!! The approaching season is for us the Christian to commemorate the death, burial and resurrection for our Lord. But for us the Christian we CELEBRATE every day!! You better take hold of what is at your disposal. Don't delay in getting to know this Sovereign Lord. He loves you and wants to have relationship with you RIGHT NOW!! I wish you a powerful, refreshing celebration this Easter. Without HIM THERE IS NO CELEBRATION!!!!!! May I ask you, DO YOU HAVE A REASON TO CELEBRATE??? THINK ABOUT IT.

God Bless.
