Resurrection Joy!



Beloved,

I wish for you this week the time to contemplate the depth of love and the totality of forgiveness that you are clothed with in Jesus Christ, your Savior and Lord!

I wish for you the solemn remembrance of the death of God the Son, His torturous and ghastly death on the cross of Calvary, to present you, righteous and spotless and redeemed, before God the Father, delightfully beloved, a child of the Eternal Father.

I wish for you a time of quiet reflection for realizing your costliness to Him, that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

Finally, I wish for you the overwhelming joy of new life, resurrection life, in the Risen Savior, Jesus Christ, the Lamb who was slain, who died and was raised and of whom "there will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace." (Is 9:7)

Precious Sibling, rejoice! Your Light has come!
