This post is from my social media feed at Easter 2018.

At Easter we celebrate Jesus is alive.

But Is Jesus alive enough that we yield to what he wants?

Jesus is meek, he doesn’t demand his own way, we can disregard him if we want. At least for now.

We can do our own religious thing and pretend that he is pleased. We can misinterpret his mercy and even misrepresent it, if we are so inclined. Yet His mercy holds strong.

Proof that Jesus is alive is a people yielded to him today… to their own hurt, pain or even suffering.

Not because we have to but because we see him and we hear him presently. And in response to that seeing and hearing, we love him, right now.
