Title: Significance of Easter!

-
John 11:25-26 KJV
[25] Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: [26] and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? 

Devotion: Easter, often regarded as the cornerstone of Christian faith, celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This event, as described in the Bible, signifies victory over sin and death, offering believers the promise of eternal life. It is a time of profound reflection, gratitude, and hope, as it underscores the depth of God's love and the fulfillment of His redemptive plan.
  The resurrection is not merely an event but a transformative truth that shapes the lives of Christians. As Jesus declared in John 11:25-26, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live." This verse encapsulates the essence of Easter, emphasizing that faith in Christ transcends even death.
  Romans 6:9 further reinforces this by stating, "We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him." This victory over death is a source of hope and assurance for believers, reminding them of the eternal life promised through Jesus.
  The spiritual importance of Easter lies in its message of renewal and restoration. It is a reminder that through Christ's sacrifice and resurrection, humanity is offered a path to reconciliation with God. The empty tomb, as described in Matthew 28:5-6, symbolizes this new beginning: "He is not here; for He is risen, as He said."
  Easter invites believers to reflect on their faith, embrace the hope of resurrection, and live in the light of Christ's victory. It is a celebration of love, sacrifice, and the unshakable promise of life everlasting.

Happy Easter to you all. May Easter bring new meaning to your life in Jesus name, Amen.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
