Easter Chicks
April 5, 2012
The Easter story is centered on Christ’s resurrection from the dead, but just as many struggle to believe it now even the disciples struggled to believe it then. Jesus appeared to them, showing himself in his fully resurrected body, and they still had to have it explained to them about how the prophecies were fulfilled in this. Jesus says that those who do not see him yet still believe are blessed because God has given them the gift of faith to believe. When you believe that Christ not only died for you but also was resurrected into new life that you will share with him one day you should be proclaiming that message to anyone and everyone you encounter because it very well could change their lives as well.

It seems as though the days set aside in our country to remember and honor those who have given their lives for our freedom have become just a holiday to anyone who has never personally known someone lost in battle. In the same way, unless you personally know Jesus and have accepted His death as payment for your own sins, Good Friday and Easter are just holidays. Though you may think it is too simple to only have to call on the name of Jesus to be saved, that is the Good News, the Gospel. And it may be simple for you, but it cost Jesus everything. Through His sacrifice He conquered death, and it is because of His resurrection that He can also offer us eternal life with Him forever.

When Jesus was on earth, He was accused of being Beelzebub, “Lord of the flies,” also known as the devil. The truth is that Jesus is Lord of everything, even the flies. He put up with so much for us, even to the point of death when it was the flies that were circling His body on the cross. What will it take for us to proclaim that Jesus is Lord of our lives? We may not understand everything and we may come across some doubts, but Jesus said that it is blessed for those who do not see Him and yet still believe. No matter what we go through in this life, it is worth more than anything to claim Him as Lord over it all.

Every believer needs to realize that they are in a battle, in the cross hairs with the attacks of the devil. When God is using you to reach others, the devil will do anything he can to stop that. We see in the story of Job in regards to his wife how crucial it is that we examine ourselves to make sure that we are not being used by the devil as a detriment to someone else. In the story of Jesus being tempted in the wilderness we can learn in importance of knowing Scripture to combat attacks. The reality is that we will be attacked. We must learn to protect ourselves by putting on the full armor of God because fighting on His side is worth it.

There are stories in the Bible of men who boldly stepped out of their comfort zone to stand up for what they believed in. God calls us to boldly proclaim His name and what He has done in our lives. When we make a decision to step out of our comfort zone and tell others about Him and then act on that decision, we are obeying Him by being courageous. There are sometimes consequences to doing this, and it may cause others to look at you differently, but what matters most is that God is pleased because it is Him with whom you will be spending eternity. The more we boldly step out, the more we begin seeing growth and small successes which not only encourage us to continue in such a way but will also encourage others to do the same.

The way God designed the family to work is for the man to be the head and take the responsibility. The only way this can work in the greatest way is if that man is following God as his head. God has modeled for that man the perfect way to love the bride unconditionally and giving is life up for her. Though that may not always happen, and consequences come when mistakes are made, it is essential to continually check that the marriage relationship is working the way God intended it to work, and that comes first with the relationship between God and the man. God is good and full of grace to help pick the man up when he has stumbled so that he can continue moving forward, modeling for his children the kind of man boys should be and girls should look for.
