Easter living
The 6th Sunday in the Season of Easter
I will give them hearts that recognize me as the Lord. ~ Jeremiah 24:7 (NLT)
Remember Jesus Christ, who was raised from the dead... ~ 2 Timothy 2:8 (CEB)
Lord, on this last Sunday in the Easter season -- with awe and whole-hearted gratitude -- I want to tell you how grateful I am for the resurrection of Christ Jesus from the dead. It gives me hope that I will follow him and be raised to new life, too. Please keep the resurrection fresh in my mind so that the reality of Easter continues to change everything about me and around me. Amen.
