As Christians, this is our time of year. It's our season. This very weekend is why we do what we do - it's why we are who we say we are. It's Easter.
For the blood-bought, born-again Christian, Easter is not about an Easter bunny. For what Easter bunny descended from the throne for us? What Easter bunny performed miracles and healings? What Easter bunny taught and discipled followers. And most importantly, what Easter bunny laid down his life so that we may live and then miraculously took it up again. No, for the educated Christian, Easter is not about an Easter bunny. In fact, that's just commercialism anyway. For the saved and serious, Easter is about what Christ did on the cross on our behalf.
And that's why a recent conversation that I had with a young person broke my heart. For this person refuses the truth. This person challenges the authority of God and mocks His name with pleasure. I have to tell you, I was stunned to see this level of dismissal that closely. This young person is tied to their sin and doesn't want to be loosed from it.
And before we start feeling all kind of sorry for this one person, I need to remind you that there are more just like this one. So, while I want you to pray for this person, I want you to search your heart and the hearts of those you know. When you do, you will find someone that needs prayer. You will find someone that is out of the ark of safety. And when you do, write their name down and commit to praying for that person's salvation.
Christ came so that we may have opportunity to be saved. Our Sacrificial Lamb did that for us. Now it's time that we pay it forward and pray for those who would otherwise be left behind. It's Easter - when you think about what was done for us, it's the least we can do for them.
Be Blessed and have a fantastic Resurrection Sunday!
