Today we celebrate Easter, the day of the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Easter is a celebration of Hope. Because Jesus rose from the dead, we have the guarantee that we will be raised from the dead as well -- and have eternal life with him.

How appropriate to read about the Passover celebration in today's reading in Deuteronomy 16. Jesus was the ultimate Passover Lamb. By putting the blood of the lamb on their doorposts, the Israelites were saved from the angel of death back in Egypt. By accepting Jesus' blood that was spilled on the cross, we are saved from eternal death. We now have eternal life with him. He is risen!

Reflect on what Jesus has done for you. He has the power to change lives and wants to use you to reach others. Have a great week.

In Christ,
