As we get closer to Palm Sunday and Easter, let us take a moment to really think about the significance of the Resurrection. 

Easter isn’t just a holiday; it’s a powerful reminder of the new life and hope that comes from Jesus Christ rising from the dead. This is a time for us to reflect on the incredible love and sacrifice that Jesus made for us. 

His resurrection means that we have the chance for forgiveness, renewal and a fresh start in our own lives. Don’t wait until Easter Sunday to celebrate the resurrection. Let’s prepare our hearts and minds now. 

Think about how we can embrace the Resurrection in our daily lives, and how we can be a witness not just with our words, but in our actions. As we journey through these coming weeks, let us remember that the resurrection is about hope and transformation. 

I am praying for you to know the joy and peace that comes from knowing Jesus is alive and that the Holy Spirit is at work in your life and in mine. Have a blessed week!
