Easter is a beautiful reminder of the promised blessings that God has for us all, if we will simply choose to receive it. They are the blessings of forgiveness, redemption and resurrection. Without these blessings we are lost and life loses its meaning and purpose. With them we have every reason to live with joy and hope. We do so because of the love of a God who would sacrifice everything for our sake.
We are all beggars in our father's kingdom. We are such, because everything we have regardless of how it came to us, came from God. In the beginning God made all matter. Regardless of the form it is in, He made it. It found its way to us because he sent it.
Where on earth have you ever seen a beggar live so well or receive so much without being able to pay equal to the price for what has been given? This is the gift we are given on earth as children of God. The gift of Christ's resurrection is the ability to return to our Father and live in his celestial glory.
May you enjoy this Easter Sunday and take joy in Christ beyond a bunny and his basket of eggs.
