Happy Easter!
God is very clear about the role of parents in being the spiritual leaders in the home in Deuteronomy 11:18-20. In the hustle and bustle of busy family life, I have to stop and remind myself to talk about matters of faith in both instructing mode and casual conversation. When faith is woven into the fabric of everyday life it becomes part of who the family is, building a solid foundation that can withstand the storms of life.
I want to be like Mary, Jesus’s mother, who treasured many things in her heart as it related to her Son. And I want my boys to be like their Savior. “And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men” (Luke 2:52).
Hopefully the ideas, Bible verses, and activities highlighted this month will help you in focusing on Jesus this Easter. Build that foundation, stone by stone, on the Solid Rock.
On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’” Then they remembered his words. Luke 24:1-6
Happy Easter! He is risen! He is risen indeed!
With love from my house to yours,
