Prayer
– Lord Jesus, what do we do after we celebrate Your resurrection? The disciples
had to wait for the Holy Spirit—but we are filled with the Spirit when we first
believe in You as our Savior…and anytime we ask for a fresh infilling. Help me
to share my faith and love as I help others to know You, Jesus.
I
always thank my God when I pray for you, Philemon, because I keep hearing about
your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all of God's people. And I am
praying that you will put into action the generosity that comes from your faith
as you understand and experience all the good things we have in Christ. Your
love has given me much joy and comfort, my brother, for your kindness has often
refreshed the hearts of God's people. Philemon 1:4-7 NLT
Meditate.
Consider God’s guidance in scripture.
What can
we do after we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?
We can obediently serve Him, continue to study all the scriptures in the Old
and New Testaments, and focus on His will for our lives. As we learn more about
Jesus, and pray continually, new insights will become evident. Worship Him
...in Spirit and in Truth.
For God chose to save us through
our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out his anger on us. Christ died for us so
that, whether we are dead or alive when he returns, we can live with him
forever. So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are
already doing. 1
Thessalonians 5:9-11 NLT
God chose
to save each of us. Now the choice is yours—to accept what Jesus has done for
you; to grow in His knowledge and grace; and to encourage others…or not. I’ve
chosen to accept Jesus as my Savior—and to continue to worship Him day by day
after Resurrection Sunday. Every day.
Verse
of Salvation ~ "When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, he
saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his
mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the
Holy Spirit. He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ
our Savior. Because of his grace he declared us righteous and gave us
confidence that we will inherit eternal life." Titus 3:4-7 NLT
