Easter is the perfect time to talk about peace. In Colossians 1:20 and 3:15, we find out that us that peace originated with God's love for us and Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. Since we can receive such peace from God, we can live peacefully with other people
Maybe when you hear the word, peace, you cringe a little bit. Your life resembles nothing but peace. A better family portrait might be described as chaos. Let's be honest. Life is hard sometimes. Our kids fight. We fight with our spouse. Our boss is driving us crazy. You are driving your boss crazy! The "to do list" keeps getting bigger. Our schedule is crazy with work, youth sports, Easter Egg Hunts. Instead of experiencing peace, your life is full of stress. You may even perceive Easter as a reminder of what you haven;t achieved in life.
No matter where you are at - Keep this verse in mind this Easter: “So let us do all we can to live in peace. And let us work hard to build each other up.” Romans 14:19, NIrV. May this Easter be a time where you are encouraged. We serve a conquering God. He has already conquered death. The Lord can certainly conquer the things in your life that you are struggling with.
Be sure to also take some time this weekend to slow down, to spend some time with your family, and to celebrate Resurrection Sunday.
