Acts 4:32:33
The whole community of believers was one in heart and mind. With great power the apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, for all of them were living in an exceptional time of grace.
My Beloved, You call us too to be one in heart and mind. After we have witnessed Sandy's union with You in the Lenten season, we too must bear witness to Your resurrection - this must be an exceptional time of grace for us too. Grant O Lord that it is so.
Psalm 93:1-2, 5
1 The Lord reigns, robed in majesty; the Lord is girded with strength. The world now is firm, it cannot be moved. 2 Your throne stands from long ago, O Lord, from all eternity you are. 5 Your decrees can be trusted; holiness dwells in your house day after day without end, O Lord.
Beloved, You are God, You are King, You are almighty and all powerful. You are the Alpha and the Omega. I can place my trust in You for You are holy and I belong to You. I am all Yours and I bow in humble gratitude because You are all mine. Help me to live and move and have my being in You always.
John 3:7, 9-10, 14-15
Jesus said, "Don’t be surprised when I say: ‘You must be born again from above.’ 9 Nicodemus asked again, “How can this be?” 10 And Jesus answered, “You are a teacher in Israel, and you don’t know these things! 14 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 so that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
We cannot live our lives licking the dust of the earth, we must set our minds on the things of heaven and God. All our experiences of the past and our knowledge of God through faith, must help to make us wise in heavenly things. We look at Christ raised up on the cross where all seems hopeless and lost and then we look at the empty tomb and know that death and the grave do not have the last word. Christ has triumphed gloriously and we shout, clap rejoice and sing Alleluia!!
