He is Risen! Happy Easter!

When Jesus rose from the dead, grief departed, and

 His suffering—so wrenching and complete—became a thing of the past. 

At the moment of Christ's resurrection, His focus, and ours, turned to the future. 

The miraculous lesson of Easter is that through Jesus' death on the Cross, 

we have been granted a second chance—permission to leave our old lives behind and stand before the pristine, unmarred canvas of a new day, with all its potential for joy and choices that honor God. 

Have you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior? 

If not, Easter is the perfect time to ask Him into your heart and your life

 Stop reliving the past, beating yourself up over all the mistakes you've made.

 The slate has been wiped clean! 

You can paint a new life for yourself,

 bright with the colors of redemption, grace and renewal.
