- Alleluia!
Praise God for EASTER - the reason for our Hope. And as we look
closely at the word "Easter" each letter reminds us of the
reasons for rejoicing.

 verlasting
love, Endless love of the Father who did not forsake man even after he
disobeyed Him. He does not just sit on His throne waiting for man's
supplications. Rather, He pursues man actively, eagerly and
relentlessly to give him the best. This is what prompted the psalmist
to say, "Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of
my life". (Psalm 23:6).

 cceptance
of this truth that God loves us immeasurably will lead us to fullness
of joy. For whosoever believes in Him will not perish but will have
everlasting life (John 3:16). If we acknowledge Jesus before men, He
will acknowledge us before the Father (Matthew 10:32). His love and
mercy abound to those who abide in Him.

 on
of God who sacrificed Himself to save us. Through His death and
resurrection, we have become adopted sons of God, destined to shine
forth His goodness, and share His glory. From His side, sprang forth
graces sufficient to sustain us. He is our Stronghold, our Shepherd.-
 riune
God, the Holy Trinity who deserve all our thanks and praise. God the
Father who so loved the world that He gave us His only Son. God the
Son who gave us all that He had - His clothes, His mother, His life up
to the last drop of His blood. God the Holy Spirit - who continues the
work of salvation by working in our lives. And as we thank the Giver,
His gifts become dearer to us, bringing us greater joy. Indeed a
thankful heart becomes a joyful heart.-
 ternal
life. This is what Jesus has gained for us. Eternal union with Him.
Eye has not seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of
men the things God has prepared for those that love Him. (1
Corinthians 2:9).
-
 ejoice
in the Lord always; and again I say Rejoice (Philippians 4:4). For the
Lord has Risen and therefore laid the foundation of our faith. By His
Resurrection, Christ has conquered death for us. Thus, as we have died
with Christ to sin, we know that we too will rise on the last day,
never to die again.
-
- Let
this Easter JOY well up in our hearts and flow unto others.
