I don't love putting a picture of my children up for today, but it was my only picture from Easter. (Well I do have one of us at Easter dinner but upon further review I noticed somehow Jack ate Easter lunch shirtless so that was certainly not any more appropriate....) Of course, I love my family and am just wordlessly thankful for them, but I also don't want to give human glory on such a beautiful day as Resurrection Day. I really was thankful to be able to worship with a precious body of Christ and under a pastor who reminded us that every day is a day to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord. Every day we should be purposeful in our remembrance of His death and resurrection and all that that means in the life of a believer. For so long I remained in a thinking that the Gospel was merely an introduction to Christianity. There was a fallacy in my belief that once you heard the "good news" of Christ you went beyond to learning more about the Bible and how to be a "good" Christian. It's only been within the last ten years that God has mercifully taught me the importance of the Gospel for all mankind and how vital it is to the redeemed to cling to the salvation story moment by moment of our lives. I could think, read, pray and meditate over the life, death and resurrection of Christ every moment of my life on this earth (oh that I would!) and still not even scratch the surface of the magnitude of the Gospel message. How foolish of me to assume to understand the depth, height, width, and breadth of Christ's love in a mere few moments of knowing Him. How beautiful to walk in the pursuit of Him every day of my life on this fallen, wicked earth. How overwhelmingly humbling to see the evidence of His calling and revelation of His magnificence to one such as me. May I remember to rejoice and cling to Resurrection Day every day that I walk as one of His redeemed children.
