I just love spring! It is my favorite season and it holds my favorite holiday, Easter.
I don’t love Easter because of the fluffy bunny that breaks into homes in the
middle of the night and hops into living rooms with baskets of goodies for
children everywhere. I don’t love Easter for the big family dinner full of good food
and laughter. Rather, I love Easter because of the selfless act of Grace that was
done that day on our behalf.
On that day, God transformed the world through His love. His crucifixion not only
forgives our trespasses, but it also beckons us to come into His presence and live
in communion with Him for eternity. This invitation can only be given because the
power of sin has been rendered powerless. No longer are we slaves of the enemy.
We have been given a new identity. We are now co-heirs with Christ,
daughters of the King.
Furthermore, His grace allows us to enter into relationship with Him
right here, right now. We don’t have to wait until this shell of a body
passes away. The Holy Spirit is guiding us and teaching us. He is
transforming us—changing us into the image of the Father.
2 Corinthians 3:18 says, “But we all, with unveiled face,
beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed
into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the
Spirit.”
