He is Risen! He is risen indeed!
Happy Resurrection Day to you and all of yours.
Here are some timely remarks given by President Obama at the recent Easter Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC:
“So this Easter Week, of course we recognize that there’s a lot of pain and a lot of sin and a lot of tragedy in this world, but we’re also overwhelmed by the grace of an awesome God. We’re reminded how He loves us, so deeply, that He gave his only begotten Son so that we might live through Him.”
“And in these Holy Days, we recall all that Jesus endured for us — the scorn of the crowds and the pain of the crucifixion, in our Christian religious tradition we celebrate the glory of the Resurrection — all so that we might be forgiven of our sins and granted everlasting life.”
“More than 2,000 years later, it inspires us still. We are drawn to His timeless teachings, challenged to be worthy of His sacrifice, to emulate as best we can His eternal example to love one another just as He loves us.”
“And of course, we’re always reminded each and every day that we fall short of that example. And none of us are free from sin, but we look to His life and strive, knowing that ‘if we love one another, God lives in us, and His love is perfected in us.’” (1 John 4:12)
Response: For once I agree with every word he said. May the Lord bless us all and this nation on this very special day. *Top
