“Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke toyou when He was still in Galilee…”
Jesus lives, He conquered death and because of that victory, we can live also. And this life isn’t just about eternity, but life more abundant here on earth. I think we need to remember and repeat this incredible event regularly to ourselves and to others. We are the Resurrection people, we recognize that death is not our home but rather just a transition point from this life to the next. Because of this recognition, we can live as those who are not afraid to die, for in Christ Jesus, we will live forever. Can I get a Hallelujah!
He lives!

“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and constant in prayer.”
Great words from St. Paul for us in the good times and the times of struggle. Jesus tells us also that in this life we will have tribulation but to be of good cheer, because He has overcome the world. So…if we think everything is always going to be easy or if someone tells us if we live or believe a certain way then life will be without challenges, we will be continually disappointed. The truth is that life is tough but that there will also be times of hope and celebration. The key to living a fulfilled, contented Christian life is summed up in the last 3 words of the quote above. Being “constant in prayer” will keep us in continual fellowship with Jesus. Abiding in Him brings forth peace and as we get better at hearing His still small voice, He will lead us throughout our day. By the way, if you just read this, send me an email at wakeuppc@gmail.com and I will send you a blessing!
Rejoicing in Hope,
