Today You Will Be With Me in Paradise
Luke 23:43
Easter Sunday is arguably the holiest day in the Christian year. On Easter the Christian celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. We have been living in the post-resurrection era for several thousand years now. I couldn’t help but wonder what the world would be like if the resurrection had not happened yet. Would this world be better off or worse off? What do you think?
I think since the resurrection God has been able to expand His work of renewing and redeeming the world. Every person who puts their faith in Jesus and is filled with the Holy Spirit becomes part of the team God can use. Christians are not people who are just waiting around for heaven to come; they are people who can make a difference in this world for the cause of God now. As you reflect on this Easter and the resurrection of Jesus, know that it is was much more than securing eternity. The resurrection says God cares about this world as it is now.
