" Praise be to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ" (1 peter 1:3 )
*HAPPY EASTER* to you and your family as we celebrate our Heavenly Father's greatest sacrifice through his son *JESUS CHRIST.
We are celebrating Easter, the resurrection or bringing back to life, of Jesus Christ three days after his crucifixion, death and the resurrection that represents Christ's victory over death and the promise of eternal life for those who follow him.
Easter, which follows Good Friday, reminds us of the truth, “ NO CROWN WITHOUT A CROSS".*
*NO WINTER LASTS FOREVER, NO SPRING SKIPS ITS TURN.
The Son of God, born as a man, was executed in the most brutal way the world has ever seen. But he came back as born of death. Jesus taught the world that for every suffering there is a dawn of hope.
Jesus saw his cross as a will of his Father. Therefore, Jesus, who saw doing the Father's will as the most important thing in life, was able to welcome the cross with joy.
The ways of the cross are not the ways of failure if the father arranges. If he prepares it, he himself will provide the strength to complete it.
Easter gives us the important lesson that the victory of evil and falsehood is temporary and we should stand for the truth without looking for crooked ways with the majority.
In this season of rebirth, may you feel your faith, renewed and your heart made new with the hope Easter bring.
Let the resurrection give Joy lift us from loneliness and, despair to strength and beauty and happiness.
*Wishing you all a joyous and exciting Easter. May you be surrounded by *spirituality, inspiration and devotion.
Let us strive to grow *spiritually by showing mercy to others, just like the Heavenly Father who showed mercy and love to us by sending his only Son into the world.
Once again Wishing You all and your family members a Happy and Blessings filled Easter!
With Love and Prayers
