Beyond the Easter Dress

The True Joy of Resurrection Day

When I was a little girl, I was especially excited to pull on a new plaid, smocked dress on Easter morning. The day promised an egg hunt and a family dinner at Grandma’s house—simple joys that made childhood feel magical

Now, Easter carries a deeper joy: the celebration of Resurrection Day.

A true reason to be overjoyed, outshining the tiny thrills of a child's world.

John 13:1, Before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that his hour had come to leave this world and return to his Father. He had loved his disciples during his ministry on earth, and now he loved them to the very end. (NLT)

First, Good Friday

Good Friday, which feels a somber weight, knowing Jesus headed to the cross. Fully aware of the sacrifice He was about to offer.

Easter Sunday, Resurrection Day! It arrives with unspeakable joy, celebrating the battle is won.

If you are new to following Christ... today, right now, is the perfect day to invite Him into your heart.

I understand the pain of needing a saviour. And, conversely, what it is to hold authentic joy and peace.

He is here for you.

He cried out to Jesus, “Lord, save me!” Matthew 14:23-33

The Lord is Risen

Pause and consider the magnitude of this offer, it is SO easy to get caught up in the "me me, I" attitudes of the world

In our rush, we miss the very point. Jesus.

Luke 24:34, "The Lord is risen indeed!"

Happy Easter friends, be blessed on this Resurrection day
