April 2024
We just celebrated Easter/Resurrection Sunday. As ‘Resurrected People’ and faithful Christians, we have always anticipated a resurrection after a tedious and tasteless Good Friday experience. Though some Christians would like to bypass the Lenten journey and celebrate Easter, the resurrection is the climax of the crucifixion story. The truth is, there can be no resurrection without a Good Friday. The resurrection brings new life and gives hope beyond the empty tomb. It affirms that Jesus Christ conquered death and lives. And because Christ lives, we can live, and face all the tomorrows of pain, grief, loneliness, hatred, and other human conditions. “Jesus Christ is Risen!” Knowing and believing that Jesus Christ is risen, that gift of forgiveness and the promise of new life is guaranteed. Therefore, as we claim this new life this day and the days ahead, let us be like butterflies, symbols of freedom, transformation, and new life. We can also be messengers and/or heralds of the good news of salvation and abundant life. Most of all, we can express our love for humanity and our passion to worship and serve God. Since we are in the season of spring, let us spring up, spring forward to get wet with ‘April showers’ of blessings to become lasting butterflies that enjoy “May Flowers.” As we do, we will be seen as God’s favored butterflies to nurture relationships and a long-lasting commitment through eternity. So, why waste valuable time? Is it because of all the human conditions that we have no control over? Well, having no control means surrendering to someone. We have a God that we can surrender all, no judging, no blaming, just being you with grace and no self-pity. The Resurrection experience of Jesus Christ continues and is important because it has withstood the scrutiny of all investigations despite some concerted efforts to disprove it. Rejoice each day because we can trust Christ with all human conditions. We can become the best butterflies that have the power of hope and determination to reach the final destiny of eternity. That power still exists today within each of us and among us. And that power is larger and greater than any power in the universe. “BLESSINGS with LOVE and PRAYERS as the journey continues! + Pastor Alecia If you would like to contact Pastor Alecia, simply click on the appropriate button.
