New Life

Spring is a perfect metaphor for the message of Easter. The new growth everywhere reminds me of the new life promised to us through our Savior Jesus Christ.

Because of His atoning sacrifice and death, we are raised, after our death, to eternal life through the power of the resurrection.

His sacrifice allows us to look forward to eternal life, and it also allows us to begin a new and better life every single day. As we repent, we leave the mistakes of the past behind and become a new better person. It's Jesus Christ who gives us the chance to change and the strength to do it. Because of Him, each new day can be a fresh new start.

In any difficult time, but especially with the death of of a loved one, the promise of eternal life is the best comfort. But even in our daily troubles and shortcomings, the mercy offered by Jesus Christ brings hope and peace.

Easter is a one day celebration, but its message is a blessing every single day. Not just for the big challenges but for every little one as well.

For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:15-16
