Matthew 28:18-20 18Then Jesus came up and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
Easter is one of my favorite holidays. It is a day that our whole nation knows about with companies changing business hours, stores are decorated, and don’t get me started on how good Easter candy is. The world celebrates it as the beginning of spring. The flowers are returning, grass is green, trees are blooming, and life is returning to nature (and bunnies?), but then it’s over and focus goes to something else. We know that Easter is so much more than spring. Jesus brought more than an earthly life to us— He gave us eternal life. Easter may be over, but the joy of the Lord and our salvation will never be. The resurrection of our Savior deserves its own holiday, but every day we should be honoring and worshipping all that Christ has done for us. There is no better way to do that than to share our salvation and joy! That gift is from God and if we really want to honor it, we should be sharing Christ’s story with everyone. The last thing Jesus said to His disciples was to go and tell the nations His story. Sometimes that is easier said than done, but think about someone you could share your faith with and pray about it. He will help you, and it becomes pretty easy to share about the love, joy, hope, salvation, and everything else that comes with your faith. It's like sharing your favorite Easter candy (which goes on sale today).
