2 Timothy 2:4
4 No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.
Are you excited for Easter? Spring is springing, the time change has given us longer evenings, and relaxing restrictions make me feel like a bear coming out of hibernation. I can’t wait for some familiar moments around the holiday, but reading the Scriptures, I feel the Holy Spirit pointing to something more. Am I excited to simply receive something on Easter, or to give something? Who is Easter for?
On Easter, we tremble with the giddy realization that death isn’t permanent; it’s been defeated. Jesus has risen indeed! And while remembering and singing will fill us with joy, there is a massive valley full of people who don’t know, don’t believe, or don’t think they care. Easter is for them too. Today, pass out a card, text someone you haven’t seen in a minute. Spread the word, we’re still at war and there are still so many people to tell.
Prayer prompt: Lord, please focus me on the glorious mission You’ve given us.
