Romans 6:3-5 (The Message)
That’s what baptism into the life of Jesus means. When we are lowered into the water, it is like the burial of Jesus; when we are raised up out of the water, it is like the resurrection of Jesus. Each of us is raised into a light-filled world by our Father so that we can see where we’re going in our new grace-sovereign country.
It can be Easter every day of year if only we would say “yes” to God. In my blog post a few weeks ago called Lent I spoke about how at this time of year we think about rededicating our life to God. But we shouldn’t limit the opportunity to restart our relationship with God, to Lent, or indeed to Easter. We should be rededicating our life’s to God every day of every year.
This Easter as we remember how much Jesus gave up just for us, consider your own life and whether you have truly given your all to God. If you haven’t given your all to God, please consider doing so today as we particularly remember Jesus’ resurrection.
1 Peter 1:3 (Holman Christian Standard Bible)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. According to His great mercy, He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead
When you give your life to God, your life will be changed for the better as God will be with you in everything you do.
Why should we give ourselves to God? Because He loved us so much that He sent His only son to earth to die on a cross so that we could be forgiven of all our sins.
I was truly blessed by the following song See His Love by Tim Hughes, I hope you receive blessing from it too.
See His Love by Tim Hughes
See His love nailed onto a cross
Perfect and blameless life given as sacrifice
See Him there all in the name of love
Broken yet glorious, all for the sake of us
This is Jesus in His glory
King of Heaven dying for me
It is finished, He has done it
Death is beaten, Heaven beckons me
Greater love no one could ever show
Mercy so undeserved, freedom I should not know
All my sin, all of my hidden shame
Died with Him on the cross, eternity won for us
Such love, such love
Such love is this for me
