Easter Devotional

1 Corinthians 15:55–58 CSB

Where, death, is your victory? Where, death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Hosea 13:14 (A promise to restore the people of God from judgement)

Easter is a season of great gladness for those who know Christ.

Jesus brought us great hope and certainty that He is going to return to bring a new heaven and a new earth where, we are told, there will be no more sorrow, trouble, or death for those who have believed and followed Him. There will be trouble, sorrow, and suffering for those who have neglected or rejected Him.

As Christians, our great task is to obey the command to love one another and to tell the whole world about Christ crucified, buried, and risen again. My prayer for you during this season of the year, as we meditate on our Savior’s great sacrifice for us on the cross and resurrection, is that you are filled with peace and eager hope, because “He is risen!”
