We just celebrated Easter yesterday by remembering the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. With the coming of Spring, and the greening of everything since March 20 it is quite fitting to mention “Resurrection”
Spring signifies the renewing of all things living. Going through Autumn and then Winter the plants seem to die, but then in Spring they come back to life. Resurrection is testified to by even the Creation around us.
The siblings, myself and our mother experienced the passing away of our Dad (on February 9,2017), and our mother’s husband of 63 years. Though that was and continues to be a sad departure for us we know Dad is more alive today, in the presence of Jesus, than he has ever been. One day, and maybe soon, he will rise from the grave in which he is buried, along with all those who died in Jesus Christ; and those who are still living in Christ will join them all in the sky, with Him.
So shall we ever, forever live with Jesus.
Why do I believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus, and all who believe in Him? The green of April declares it. Most of all God in His word proclaims and declares it. Jesus is risen. “He is not here. He is risen.”
