Happy Easter!
This week, I've read several blogs, newspaper columns and Facebook posts
reminding us that the true meaning of Easter isn't about rabbits, eggs
or new clothes. It's all about a Savior who died a humiliating death
in our place. He hung upon a cross, then was placed in a tomb
before his resurrection on the third day.
For those whose Lord is Jesus, it's all about the promise of eternal life
and a peace and joy beyond our human understanding.
That's why I chose the dogwood, which is blooming in my yard this Easter,
as a reminder of this awesome occasion. Legend says the bloom resembles
the shape of a cross and its center, a crown of thorns. The pinched edges
resemble the wounds caused by nails and the red tinge, His blood.
1 Peter 1:3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy
