It dawned to me, this year my Easter was different. My first time in my entire journey as a Christian I did not attend church physically on an Easter Sunday.
Those were the days by 6.00am we are in church celebrating Easter. This time Easter was different. I am in a season of life where I am learning to appreciate things and moments in life. I decided to dedicate this note to God to let him know, ”I love you, Jesus. Thank you for dying on the cross for me. Thank you for this resurrection power that is in me now.”
Matthew chap 26.26:While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, and when we had giving thanks, he gave it to them saying,” Drink from it all of you. This is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Which covenant was Jesus referring to when Jesus asked to drink the wine which is the blood of the covenant.? People under the old covenant ( those who lived before Jesus) could approach God only through a priest and an animal sacrifice. Now, that is no longer needed, people can come directly to God through faith because Jesus’s death has made us acceptable in God’s eyes. ( Romans chap 3:21-24)Jesus has become the final sacrifice for sin. Rather than an unblemished lamb slain on the altar, the perfect Lamb of God was slain on the cross, a sinless sacrifice so that our sins could be forgiven once and for all. All those who believe in Christ receive this forgiveness.
The Holy Communion is a very important sacrament in churches today. We partake in Communion to remember the resurrection power of Christ.
”Abba, I thank you, this Easter me and my family have experienced this resurrection power of Christ-like never before. I receive it by faith by the mighty name of Jesus. The enemy has been defeated in name of Jesus. Amen.”
Definitely an Easter to be remembered.Glory to Jesus alone!
Say this today :I have the resurrection power working in my life. Amen-R.J.JOHN
Prayer : I thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for me and my readers. I thank you we have been translated from the Kingdom of Darkness into the Kingdom of Light.
Application: Communion is vital in every Christian believer. If you have someone not well, get the communion to him or her. Experience the resurrection power of Christ today!Amen
Happy Easter everyone!
