In Romans 13:8 it says to love one another and to owe no one nothing …

So far, How’s that been working for you?

Here’s another simple question, do you even know your neighbors’ names?

Tomorrow is Easter, for some, it will be one of the two Sundays you enter a church, you’ll put on your best suit or dress so those neighbors (name unknown) will see how refined you are going on this pilgrimage to make an appearance at your church. 

Wow! you ask yourself why does that sound so familiar? 

When you get to church and settled in a pew the preacher steps up to the pulpit and welcomes everybody, saying nothing about the oversized crowd, he knew in advance there would be strangers amongst the regular congregation.

It’s then that you realize he sure looks familiar and you’re puzzled about where you know him from?

As the sermon progresses you wonder why the Pastor hasn’t said anything about the bunny or an Easter egg hunt after church? Instead, he keeps referring to this restriction thing. You’re thinking who’s dumb enough to believe anyone could come back from the dead, but as you look around it was easy to see by the look on some of the faces, people were believing every word the Pastor was saying.

When the Pastor was concluding he reassured all of us that God loves us, that’s why He sacrificed His Son, in essence, he says, that’s what Easter is all about and the Lord was willing to forgive our sins and welcome us into the kingdom of God because Jesus went to the cross for our sins and on the third day was resurrected.

As you make your way to the door everyone stops to greet the Pastor and shake his hand. When it’s your turn he greets you warmly and it surprises you when he calls you by your name. He sees the look on your face, he says with a smile … we’ve never been introduced, I live next door to you, I’m your neighbor. Maybe we can get together for a cup of coffee sometime?

You, for some reason, agree and even ask when. You tell him you have some questions that needed answering.

All this came out of you from nowhere and then you hear the Pastor saying he was free Monday so a time was set…

Until we get together again … stay and KEEP LOOKING UP!

My prayer for you; 

Father God, I pray all will come to your Son as Lord and  Savior. This country, the world, and all people everywhere need your help and forgiveness.

I pray for my sisters and brothers to come before you in agreement that we ALL need you.

Lord, I pray for a revival like none ever seen before, a miracle with signs and wonders leavening no doubt that you are Lord. 

I pray these things in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,

                                              AMEN

An Easter song for you …
