No damper here

Yesterday we celebrated Easter complete with thunder, lightning and rain (lots and lots of rain). Easter egg hunts were brought inside, families outside activities were put on hold and temperatures brought out cooler-weather clothing.

But, guess what? It didn't change the glory that yesterday beheld.

Jesus is not in the grave!

Jesus arose!

Jesus is alive!

Isn't that amazing? Isn't it glorious? Isn't it wonderful?

Not just anyone could accomplish such feats...it took a Saviour to make it all happen. It took a God who loved us, a Son who sacrificed for us and a love that outlasts any other.

Psalm 111:9 says, "He provided redemption for his people; he ordained his covenant forever—holy and awesome is his name."

He redeemed us and made a covenant with us that never ends...I have not the words to describe how that makes me feel.

Holy and awesome is His name!
