easter2021

“What is the nature of the world?” -- a great question humans have grappled with for centuries. God’s answer, through Jesus’ resurrection, gives us great hope that our best days may have, in fact, just begun!

The tomb has come to represent a symbol of hope. But it wasn't always that way. When Jesus died, his followers questioned everything. They didn't know what would happen next. In these uncertain times of life, when we don't know what's going to happen next, it's often what we can't see that matters most.

Charlie Thomson shares a Palm Sunday message about what kind of kingdom Jesus came to establish when he entered the city of Jerusalem as king, and why it's better than we could ever expect.

Easter 2021, What Is Our Identity? Can identity change? Who and what defines our identity and being. Do we listen to popular culture or the media for our identity or does our identity come from God? This Easter Sunday 2021, strive to Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.

As the milestone of isolation grinds on, this season of Lent takes our Easter journey on a course that differs from all the previous Lenten experiences.

By this I mean everyone, Christian believer or not, has been involved in some form of social isolation for an entire year. So our spiritual goal to pull back from the day to day social interactions in order to get closer to Jesus takes on a different feel this year 2021.

Because isolation is the byword for everyone this year, our personal journey requires a different sort of individual contemplation.

The prevention of having to physically attend church and come together in our common pilgrimages towards the great Easter moment is not like any other year.

And as prayer is becoming a more significant part of our day, we find ourselves with fewer distractions because of the restrictions still in place for everyone anyways.

So this may be requiring different considerations for our daily Lenten practices than from all our years before 2021. But it should provide a greater meaning.

And regardless of your level of success, the reality remains that there is a constant process of consideration and reflection that is daily taking place within us now.

What is happening is a cementing into place of the need to look into ourselves in a deeper way than ever before and to look to Jesus in his last days on earth as a human as well as the Godly approach he practiced as he faced the challenges of his life as a human being.

Which makes me want to reflect on how the experience of the Virgin Mary as she raised Jesus may have continually returned to her mind as she witnessed the last days of his life on earth.

Today's commentary:

Today, I have a curiosity about those masked people out there who can’t keep their masks secured over their noses. Now while it is true that an occasional loosening of a mask does plague us all, never the less it will soon be one year since the concept of wearing a mask has become part of everyone’s day to day awareness...
