Our Easter Gift

Bonjour!

Happy Easter!! I pray we all were able to feel a renewal of hope and peace as we commemorated the suffering, crucifixion, death and resurrection of our Saviour and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. To sum up, I hope you were able to reflect on His great gift to us, His Atonement.

Poisson d'Avril!

We would have no Easter to celebrate without Christmas, and no Christmas to celebrate without Easter. Why? Because if He was not born we would not celebrate his great sacrifice for us. Without His great sacrifice, He would simply be another baby born into the world. This is why He is so great!

I testify that He lives! That He rose again on the third day, that He, and He alone, could and did conquer death. He loves us. He showed that love with what He not only suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane, but also afterwards. Because of His suffering, He knows our deepest sorrows, our hardest trials, and immeasurable guilt. He turns each one into joy, experience, and peace.

My prayer is that we turn to Him. Not yearly, not monthly, not weekly, but daily! One of my favourite Hymns says: “I need thee every hour, in joy or pain.” (Hymns, 98). He is our Master, He is our Teacher, He is our Healer, He is our Friend. Let Him be in your life every day, for the good, for the bad and for the in-between. I'm grateful that I'm able to rely on His help each day.

Lots of love!
