Never Lose the Wonder

Well, Palm Sunday is over. Good Friday and Easter Morning have passed us by once again. 

While these days have come and gone, the truths that we celebrate on these days ought never to leave our hearts and our minds. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ have implications that affect not just one or two days a year, but rather every single day of our lives. Jesus is just as much alive today as he was on the first Easter. He is just as much alive today as he was on April 8th, and every Easter Sunday before that. 

Through the resurrection, Christ demonstrated his ultimate power over sin, death, and hell. That power isn't limited to one day a year. He had that power in eternity past, he has it now, and he will have it forever. 

As we exit this time of year when we specifically celebrate the death and resurrection of Christ, may we never lose the wonder of what this work of Christ accomplished for us. It bought our salvation. It gave us victory over sin and death. Because we who have once died with Christ in his crucifixion, we will be raised with him on the last day (Galatians 2:20, John 6:39-40). May we never lose the wonder of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).
