It is Still Easter, Don’t You Know
Today’s Bible Verse: Romans 12:15 ESV
Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
It’s Easter! Yes, the Easter season is not over until May 9th, Ascension Day. So let us live in this joy of knowing that Jesus paid for our sins and rose from the dead, bringing eternal life to all believers. The joy and hope of these Easter days should enliven our hearts and put us on a path to show God’s love to everyone, especially those who are not in our fellowship. So, let us all rejoice knowing that our God has done all to save us. Do not let this joyous time go to waste! Rejoice in the Lord and love others who need God’s grace and mercy.

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
