Happy Easter!

Easter can be every day—I love thinking about Jesus conquering death for us! How powerful! How wonderful! Easter Sunday has got to be better than watching Braveheart or any epic battle movie. To be honest, I have never actually seen Braveheart (I know, gasp. While we are at it, I have never seen Star Wars either…I know, gasp!) Anyway, we put on cute floral dresses and chase eggs but do we truly realize that we are actually celebrating the amazing outcome of an epic battle!? It’s the Super Bowl of the universe! Congratulations all of you Christ-dwellers! We have won again. We have received Jesus, the prize. We have received the title: we are champions of life because of HIM! We are reminded once again of his amazing love for us. Our ransom has been paid. Hallelujah!

 

In Christ alone, my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all-in-all
Here in the love of Christ I stand
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost it’s grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
