When God Died, He Was Thinking About You (Last Round)

Today, we celebrate God’s faithfulness to us.
Indeed, He’s faithful for He did not only complete a task, He did fulfill a promise. A promise of new life, a more fulfilled life. In a word- salvation.

Many did not noticed or expected it. Many did not even believe it.That for all those years (from creation to resurrection) until now; His death and resurrection is all about us. It is our salvation, more than His glory.
It is our salvation, more than His majesty.

Let’s put this reality this way:
Jesus chose to be like man, for you to stay like God. Jesus chose to die having you rather that to live without you. Jesus chose to be buried on earth, so that like Him; you may rise in heaven!

Now, we have a perfect example to truly live our lives. To gain salvation.
If Jesus was able to give Himself for others, how about us?
If Jesus was able to empty Himself for others, how about us?
If Jesus was able to die and live for others, how about us?

I hope it is affirmative. For this is the summary of Easter-
To die and live for others. But this time, this time;
It’s not anymore about us and it should not be because of ourselves.
For this time, this time; it should be only for His glory.
It should only be for God’s Majesty.

Yes. It’s a cycle. (Actually, I can’t wait to share this with you for this is the summary of the all things I would like to tell you since last Sunday) Hear this my friend - God thinks of us for us to learn how to better think of ourselves and of Him.

To make it more clear, this is what I mean.
God loves us for us to love well ourselves and our neighbor, and in loving well ourselves and our neighbor, we can love and be with Him. That’s salvation! That’s Easter!

Let us pray,

Generous Father, as we now conclude our Lenten observance and begin our Easter season, We thank you. We thank you for you made us realize that it is us who you love more than anything else. Help us to do the same with you, to love you more than anything else. For we know, through your grace, that if we will learn how to love you more, we can truly love ourselves and others. Guide us as we continue our journey while proclaiming your resurrection. Guide us as we offer our lives to others. This we pray in Jesus name. Amen.

Have an inspiring Easter journey today and forever. ‘Til then kapasahero!
