Shocked? If you are familiar with my Lord, Jesus Christ, you oughtn't be surprised. The President of my university spoke at chapel last Tuesday and expounded on this verse, "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me" (Galatians 2:20, NIV).
I will be serving this summer with an organization called YouthWorks. Lately, I have been feeling very overwhelmed with the amount of responsibility that I will have. However, today I have been reminded that it is not me, but Christ who will serve through me. It is so beautiful to think that my God is so strong and able that he picks such a weak person as myself to serve others in His name. God loves us so much that he sent his son, Jesus Christ, to suffer death on a cross and three days in the grave. He loves us so much that the only perfect person took on our iniquities and suffered the consequences of sin on humanity's behalf.
Today on Easter, we celebrate the rising of his son. INDEED, CHRIST IS RISEN! God brought Christ back to life in order to show his power over sin. Satan certainly cannot boast of such glory himself; he only destroys and tricks and steals. Our God is creative, loving and good. There is nowhere that God cannot go to save his people, and we are his people. You are his people.
Celebrate Christ's life!
