DEVO: Apr 21 - 1 Thes 4:13 - plus, an Easter Thanks!!!

But we do not want you

to be uninformed, brothers and sisters,

about those who have died,

so that you may not grieve

as others do who have no hope.

1 Thessalonians 4:13

 

I want to share a picture with you at the end … but first let me say … what a glorious Easter Season!

 

·         Thank you to Rhonda, Ian, and ALL of our choirs and musicians. All of Holy Week was glorious!

·         Thank you to our members who shared their faith with their Good Friday reflections.

·         Thank you to all who beautified the church on a work day, lit the sanctuary … and decorated so magnificently for each unique Holy Week day.

·         Thank you to Prayer Team for coordinating the three day Prayer Vigil … and to those who coordinated Secret Church.

·         Thank you to our members who were willing to give up their seats on Easter because the sanctuary was so full!!!!

 

In a world that is uninformed and too often grieving, all of you helped proclaim the hope of the resurrection!

 

Indeed, because Christ is risen we do not need to grieve or fear like the rest of the world … even when … sickness is brewing … or earthquakes are trembling … or nations are warring … or blood moons are shining.

 

And with those last words, I share a picture of the last week’s blood moons that Pat Ware’s nephew too. As you look at it (hopefully with the same awe that I did), let us celebrate that our God is always in control!

 

In Christ’s Love,

a joyful Easter-Christian
