Thank You!
by Andy Taylor
Today, on this Easter Sunday, we celebrate You Jesus.
We celebrate Your love.
We celebrate Your sacrifice that paid our debt of sin.
We celebrate Your victory over death and the enemy.
We celebrate Your resurrection - bursting out of the grave that couldn’t hold You.
Thank You that you did it for me.
You did it for us all!
You did it to bring us life.
You did it to make sense of life.
You did it so that a wellspring of life could bubble up from within us - Your Holy Spirit constantly reminding us that we are Yours.
You did it to Shepherd us.
You did it to be our King.
You did it so we could be free, whole, and healed.
You did it so we could be together with each other - loving each other as you love us.
You did it so we could be sent out into a lost world with the Good News of this beautiful Gospel.
You did it so we could be reconciled to You, brought near and walking through life in an ever-close relationship.
Thank you!
Our words are not enough.
You are more than we can comprehend in love, beauty, power, grace, kindness, patience and mercy.
As we celebrate You today, we draw near.
We still our hearts and our minds and focus on You.
Thank You!
Amen.
