Now the work starts in earnest. Jesus had ministered for 3 years before he was crucified. He lived amongst the disciples and they had a chance to see what he did. After His death and resurrection, it was their turn to go out and minister. May we get busy and continue the work He started. John 21:15-25.

And after Easter, then what? Acts 13:30-43 gives an account of what Paul and Barnabas experienced and did after the resurrection. They shared the good news and spoke about their experiences. They also ministered to people’s needs as the Lord enabled them.

Therefore, may we celebrate Easter with understanding. May we use the word of God to help us understand what Easter means to us and may we also see the benefits of Easter and hence its importance. May the Holy Spirit open our spiritual eyes to these truths and may they transform us. Amen. Ephesians 2:11-22.

Christ’s coming, death and resurrection reflects our journey of life. We have the benefit of His investment in our lives. There are gifts He has placed in us for service and for the glorification of His name. May we learn from His life and depend on His power and have impact. Ephesians 4:9-13.

For those who meet the condition mentioned in Ephesians 1:13, the benefit spoken of in Ephesians 1:18-20 and Ephesians 2:6 follows. Being seated with Christ in heavenly places means that one has the power to live as a Christian. That was the other purpose of resurrection.

The Lord appeared to the disciples to encourage them. The signs and wonders were also to show them what they should do. John 14:12 and John 20:30. What has the Lord done through you? What are your expectations for glorifying His name going forward?

Imagine what Mary felt in John 20:10-18, when she finally saw the risen Lord. Or the other disciples for that matter as narrated in the rest of chapters 20 and 21 of the gospel of John. They must have been elated. Jesus reaffirmed what He had said to the disciples earlier. They saw and believed. And what about you and I? Please check out John 20:29.

Peter’s reaction in Matthew 16:22 shows that the disciples were nor prepared for the death of the Saviour. John 20:1-9 also illustrates that they were also not prepared for His resurrection, despite Him telling them. What about you? Do you believe it happened? If you do, what does it mean to you? If you don’t, may His grace be sufficient.

Jesus had prepared the disciples for His death and resurrection, but it was a hard pill to swallow for them. Amidst all the miracles and other events, they must have struggled to envision how life would be without Him. Matthew 16:21-28.

How many Easters have you celebrated? Why should this one be any different? Maybe the circumstances you are going through are new. Or maybe not. May the significance of Christ’s experience and what it means for us have more impact on you than ever before. May this truly be a life transforming season for you and yours. *Happy Easter*. Matthew 27:1-66
