Just as the Son of
Man did not come to be served, but to serve,
and to give his life as a ransom for many.
and to give his life as a ransom for many.
Matthew 20: 28
It's easy not to get caught up in the commercialism of Easter when you don't have children. There are no Easter baskets or egg hunts or chocolate bunnies. There is space to meditate on the meaning of this day: sacrifice, love, pain and joy.
There is space to realize that I struggle with my Christianity. I struggle with keeping my connection with Jesus as the most important aspect of my life. It is a reminder that I must consciously and actively develop and nurture my relationship with Him. Little steps like reading scripture every day, praying with purpose and giving thanks for all of the blessings in my life.
Happy Easter!
Wonderful post! I been a Christian since I was a child. I'm not the same person that I was then nor is my relationship with God. I have my ups and downs but one thing remains constant. No matter where I am God's love remains a sure thing. That helps me.
