Easter has come and gone. Or has it? The Christian calendar now actually moves into the season of Easter. For the next 50 days (leading up to Pentecost), we will be in the Easter season.
I must confess, I was not raised to pay an overwhelming amount of attention to the Christian calendar so when I talk as if I know of which I speak – I really am just learning – part of my journey. At any rate, I don’t suppose I have ever really given much thought to the idea of a season of Easter. But as I have thought about the importance of Easter – the day – I have begun to realize that there is so much more going on here than just a single day.
Easter Sunday is the day we celebrate the miraculous resurrection. Part of that celebration is the realization of what it means for you and for me. As believers, we live in and through this resurrection. We no longer have to fear death and be, as Hebrews 2 says, slaves to that fear. We begin to understand that Easter is not a day but a way of living.
This Sunday, we will start a new sermon series entitled Living Resurrected. I ask that you pray for our 1st B family as God teaches us what it means to live resurrected lives.
I am also asking for your input (which just might make it into the sermon). What does the idea – living resurrected – mean to you. Comment here are leave me a message on Facebook, Twitter or email.
Be blessed today.
Clay in the Hands 
This life is just a vapor. We live ressurected lives by the knowing that when we leave this life we step right into Glory. I cannot wait to be with my Savior . There is no fear of death & we have eternal life with the One & Only God who loved us so much that He gave his Only Son to be the penalty for my sin. Jesus left streets of gold to come & walk through this life so He could be die just for me. When Jesus left He left us the Holy Spirit so we can walk daily with the Comforter who carries us through this life. I thank My God for Ressurected Life. This is what Ressurected Life is alll about.
