Contrary to what the commercial world promotes, Easter is not about an egg, a bunny, or the new clothes we wear for spring. Easter is about opening ourselves to the sacrifice made by LOVE to be renewed on the inside.
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son (John 3:16), then Jesus so loved us that He gave Himself for the opportunity to experience a love relationship that is unconditional and lasts forever. This love can be hard to comprehend because it’s pure and limitless. It’s a love that says, “I love you just because you’re mine.” “I love you with ‘all your perfect imperfections.’” “I know what you’ve done, what you’re capable of doing, what you will do, and I love you anyway.”
What kind of love is that? It’s a love that is sometimes difficult to accept and embrace, especially if you feel that no one has ever truly loved you. It’s hard to trust this love if you’ve been hurt by love because it means allowing yourself to be open, vulnerable, and trust that LOVE is who He says He is. It’s believing that He only wants you to allow Him to love you and you love Him back.
This Easter, we are invited to experience being bathed in a love that welcomes us as we are – to bring our hurts, shortcomings, anger, resentments, sadness, and brokenness and step in the pool of forgiveness made possible by the blood of LOVE. Let LOVE wash you and make you whole and re-born in an everlasting love that will set you FREE.
