Happy Easter!
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
he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection
