An Easter Devotional
The message of Easter was first spoken to two women at Jesus’ tomb, in these simple words: “Do not be afraid...for He is risen” (Matthew 28:5-6). Jesus is with us and gives us his ability to overcome any defeat. The true Christian realizes that he, with Christ, rises above every setback, every obstacle and enters into the true meaning of living.
The Easter message tells us: You need not be afraid of anything–not life with all its insecurities, its conflicts, its uncertainties; not afraid of even death itself. You need have no fear–no fear!
When your spirit is filled with the unshakable strength of God in the name of Jesus Christ, you get faith so deeply planted within you that when crises hit you–as they sometimes do suddenly–you automatically can look life in the face and not be afraid. You can say with the Apostle Paul, “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39).
Easter is here. Be transformed. Be resurrected. Be not afraid!
