Now that Easter is Over

Is “Easter” really ever over? By Easter, we mean the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, not bunnies and eggs. I assert that Easter is not a day, but a life.

 It was a glorious day at GSBC, as well as at Bible-believing churches around the globe. Here, we had two profess Christ as Savior, a wonderful attendance, rejoicing Christians and the palpable atmospheric presence of the Lord.

 Going forward, what are some of the take-aways and the next steps?

 

1.      Realize that every Lord’s day is a celebration of Jesus’ victory over death. That glorious sense of joy and conquest we all felt last week should become our new normal each and every Sunday and throughout the week.  

2.      Because He has risen, we need to live a life of victory, entering in to our Savior’s sufferings and experiencing resurrection power in every aspect of our lives.

3.      Share the life-changing good news of the gospel with others in our sphere. This good news is not meant to be hidden under a basket, but shouted from the mountain tops.

4.      Seek heavenly things, rather than earthly. Love what God loves. Invest fully into His kingdom. Colossians 3:1-2 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 

The holiday "Easter" may be over, but let us never get over the Resurrection!
