He’s Coming Quickly (and 3 Other Truths to Remember This Easter)

I realize it might seem strange to discuss Revelation in a post about Easter, but I see a clear connection between the events described in Revelation and the events described in the gospels. When Jesus lived on Earth, He said He would (1) die (2) rise from the dead (3) return. The gospels make it clear that He fulfilled the first two promises. While we wait for Him to fulfill the third promise, we need to know and believe the truth. In this post, I’ll focus on four specific truths about His coming that are in Revelation 22.

5 Songs to Listen to This Easter

Easter is almost here, so today’s post has several song recommendations for you to listen to this week. Of course, you can listen to these songs at any time of year; but I specifically included songs about Christ’s death and resurrection. I hope you enjoy these five song suggestions.

5 Easter Tradition Ideas

While there’s nothing wrong with having a tradition-less Easter holiday, I think the fact that Jesus died for our sins and rose from the grave to conquer death is worth celebrating! And we celebrate well with traditions in place, don’t we? (I believe that we also find great comfort in traditions.) If you’re interested in starting a new tradition this Easter, I hope that you consider these five ideas.

Easter for the Anorexic

You sit on a hard wooden pew in an old church sanctuary. You're surrounded by a sea of people who seem genuinely joyful. They sing "Victory in Jesus" with loud voices. Your head just spins. Their cheerful voices echo throughout the entire sanctuary, but Satan’s voice is the only thing that you can hear right now.

Easter Will Be Different This Year

Instead of shopping for Easter candy and bunny décor, we’ll be scouring the store shelves for toilet paper, hand soap, and milk. Instead of planning family parties and cleaning for visitors, we’ll be planning how to cook using our current food supply and sanitizing every corner of our homes. Instead of getting together with friends, we’ll be cooped up in our homes and cozied up in front of our TVs. It'll be...different.

At the Foot of the Cross

Part of this poem comes from a song that I wrote with my younger sister years ago. I've added to it and changed some of the words, but they're based on the biblical accounts of Christ's death. I hope that this poem is as an encouraging reminder to you that Christ died for us—and for everyone involved in His crucifixion—not because we deserved it but because He loves us with an immeasurable, everlasting love.

What Good Friday Means for Us Today

I could've written a post about the incredible power that Christ demonstrated through His resurrection or a post about the importance of focusing on victory this Sunday. But I want to focus on Good Friday for this post. I want to take a look at the seriousness and significant implications of this day. After all, Good Friday isn’t an abstract day that we simply hear about in Sunday school. It has incredible significance for us.

Creator on the Cross

I decided to spice up the monotony of blogging and try writing a poem for this special day. By the way, I am not a poet. At all. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy reading my jumbled mess of words and feel encouraged on this blessed day.
