A Time For New Beginnings

Took this photo on Easter Sunday. I love Easter for all of the meaning surrounding it. The resurrection of Christ, the celebration of the church for this moment and new life available to any who trust in Christ, the beautiful weather where I live, and the tradition of dressing up for Easter. It’s small compared to the other larger encompassing ideas surrounding the Resurrection, but it provides a nice photo op and a reminder that new life is possible in Christ. A new start is available to the one far from God. A renewed commitment leading to a changed lifestyle and pressing more towards the goal of heaven in Christ Jesus. Change is easy on the outside, but the greater change occurs within, when Christ resurrects that which is dead and brings to life. One day the believer will be clothed in immortality as Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 15 “When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: ‘Death has been swallowed up in victory.'”
