Easter has come and gone and I am left to ask my annual question. "So what?"
Every year I am left with the question - shouldn't there have been more? More to the story? More to the end results? More joy? More hope? More forgiveness? More love?
Jesus lived for us, suffered for us, died for us and was raised for us. Shouldn't it have mattered more? Then I am reminded that the "more" part has to do with our response.
Jesus lived- does it make a difference in how we live?
Jesus suffered-does it make a difference in how we treat the suffering in our world?
Jesus died-as a sacrifice for our redemption - do we even know we need redeemed?
Jesus rose from the dead- so we can live. Did we celebrate? Do we celebrate? Do we live accordingly? What are you going to do because he rose from the dead? Do you live life more fully alive because he lives? Do you have more, more joy, more hope, more grace, more love, in your life as a result?
Praise be to God - for you get to choose more!
Pursuing love - with you!
Your Pastordude!
