Christian Reflection and Prayer

I AM ALIVE!!!!!!

RESURRECTION SUNDAY!

Scripture:

For God so loved the world that he gave his only
begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish.
But have everlasting life.
God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world through him might be saved.
(John 3:16-17)

Reflection:

Today's a celebration, today is a new beginning!
All the pain, all the suffering, all the degradation,
is over. Jesus Christ is risen from the grave.
Actually what have we experienced this past week?
We have experienced "agape", real love, the only love
God can give. This well-known verse in the Bible is
what Resurrection Sunday,(Easter) is all about.
It is so wonderful to believe that God loved us so much
that he literally gave us his son. The celebration of this date
represents a new beginning for me and for you. God
gave us his son out of pure love so that we can begin a new.
That is the supreme example of love. Jesus Christ sacrificed
his life on the cross for us. He went through all of this so that we
can be of forgiven people, so that we do not have to suffer for
our sins, so that we are people who are bonded to our God,
so that we can have eternal life with our heavenly father.
You see Resurrection Sunday is when I make my new years resolutions.
Because of what Jesus Christ did "my life becomes new".
And I resolve this day to be a better person, to be a better follower
of Jesus Christ, to serve others as Christ serves me, to love others
as Christ loved me. Today I bring hope back into my life!

PRAYER:

Our Heavenly Father, thank You for what You have done for me.
Through Your life, death, and resurrection, I have learned
the meaning of love,. Thank you my God for all that You give me,
for all that You have done for me, and for all You continue to give me.
Your grace and Your love abounds in my life, thank You for loving me Lord!
AMEN
