Keith’s Quill
The Jeepers have
shown up with their
amazing machines. It
must be Easter! It is
interesting that if you
are a local Moabite
that you will associate
Easter with Jeep
Safari. For many of
the locals it is a
blessing to have the
business back. For
everyone it is an
inconvenience to not
be able to turn left on
Main Street. So if I
were to suggest to you
who will read this that
we should have Easter
every week, there
would be much
opposition to the idea.
But here it goes
anyway. We should be
celebrating the events
of Easter every
Sunday. We worship
on Sunday because it
was the day that Jesus
rose from the dead.
We are celebrating the
Resurrection and
remembering the
redemptive activities
of Jesus every week.
The Resurrection is so
central to the
message of
Christianity that it
would be very wrong
to only consider it one
day a year. The
Apostle Paul writes, “If
Jesus is not risen then
we are still in our
sins”. The proof God
has given to the world
that Jesus is who He
claimed to be, rests in
the Resurrection from
the dead. Remember
it was not a
resuscitation that
would end at some
point. The
Resurrection was
something totally
different then what
happened with
Lazarus when Jesus
raised him up. Jesus
was raised with a new
body and one that
would never die again.
This Resurrection is
the Christian hope.
But it is still okay that
once a year we make
a big deal of it. Just
like once a year we
make a big deal out of
His birth. Making a
big deal out of Jesus is
what we would like to
do all the time. Any
good excuse will do.
So bring on the
Jeepers every year.
We will then all be
reminded that it is
time to have a party
and remember that
our Lord is worthy of
our praise because He
came and gave us an
unimaginably great
gift. But please
consider that it is not
just the fact of the
Resurrection that is
important. We must
also have faith in it
too. Jesus is alive!
But unless you believe
He is and seek Him, it
really won’t make any
difference for you that
He is. May I wish you
an amazing season of
joy and love. 16For
God so loved the world
that he gave his one
and only Son, that whoever believes in him
shall not perish but
have eternal life. 17For
God did not send his
Son into the world to
condemn the world, but
to save the world
through him. (John
3:16&17)
