The resurrection of Jesus Christ, which Easter Sunday celebrates, is one of the most sacred tenets of the Christian faith. It is because He is risen that we can trust in His sacrifice for our sins and receive new life in Him. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation:... the old has gone, the new has come! 2 Corinthians 5:17 Remembering the resurrection of Jesus is a way to renew daily hope that we have victory over sin. What a blessing it is to be partakers of such a victory! Our prayer for this coming Easter Sunday is that peace, love, and joy will fill your heart and mind as you consider the hope and future you have in Jesus. See more
