It was just Easter weekend here in the US. At Easter we celebrate that Jesus is alive.

But…Is Jesus alive enough that we yield to what he wants? Or has Easter become just another silly religious festival?

Proof that Jesus is alive is a people yielded to him today… to their own hurt. A people who actively seek out and pursue his current will and work toward that end. Not because we have to but because we see him now, we hear him now, we love him now.

Jesus is meek, he doesn’t demand his own way, we can disregard him if we want to, we can do our own thing then announce and pretend he likes it. He doesn’t get upset and punish us, his mercy is impressive.

The truth is: a servant wants to please his lord and a loving son wants to please his father. The servant and the son does not get to decide how they serve to please the Lord or the Father.
