Celebrate Freedom and Love
Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God…—1 Peter 2:16–17 (NIV)
“Do you believe this?”—John 11:26 (NIV)
On this day we celebrate the miracle of Jesus’ resurrection. Easter is here and with it the most important message of all time. Because of Him, you do not need to be afraid of anything—not life with its uncertainties, not even death itself.
Almighty Jesus, You lifted the veil of darkness and filled the world with light.
Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God…—1 Peter 2:16–17 (NIV)
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!—1 John 3:1 (NIV)
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.—John 15:13 (NIV)
