Eternal Joy

Isaiah 25:8 KJV
He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.

Easter once again reminds us of what Christ came to do for us. It reminds us of the exceeding great love that led to the greatest gift ever given: a life sacrificed to save millions. The life didn't do anything deserving of death but love spurred him on, offering up his life so that we all can have life. That is why, the verse above can make sense to all who have come to the saving grace that that life that was freely offered now freely offers us. You can only enjoy this life when you have taken up the offer of life given by the same one who has life to give- Christ himself.

This life comes with added benefits. When you take the life, you earn every other thing that comes with it: death is swallowed up, shame and reproach are taken away and rebuke is forever terminated. A new phase of life starts, a new journey starts. Easter is the celebration of that new beginning.

Have you begun the new journey yet? Have you taken up the offer of new life that God lays down freely for all? Remember, all fred gitts have expiry dates. May God grant us all the grace to fully maximum blessings that this life has given us. May it not be too late for us. His time of favour is here.
