Wednesday Wisdom: Easter Reflections
If you are like us you find yourself in another week, caught up with meetings, projects and deadlines with the feeling there isn’t enough time to get it all done. Unlike other weeks, Easter provides a unique opportunity to put it all in perspective. The reality is we will never “get it all done” and yet it is already finished!
What appears as a contradiction is a recognition that we don’t have the capacity in ourselves to work harder or “do more” to meet all the demands on the schedule to satisfy everyone - but we can have the confidence to sustain another hectic week when we shift our focus and lift our eyes to a Hope beyond as we look to the Cross.
While the Cross is a prominent symbol connected to Easter, we have to personally make the connection with the significance and sacrifice on the cross or we’ll approach this week like the other 51 on the calendar.
Love God. Love People. Do Work. It’s one of the principles of Cape House that brings us back to the foundation of it all. It starts with God. It starts with the author of perfection who was willing to give His one and only Son on the Cross to take every fear, failure and imperfection and turn it into a masterpiece.
You may not feel like it, but you are God’s masterpiece. Not just today and not just this week! Every breath you take you are created anew in Christ to do good things He has planned for you.
So take a moment, wherever you find yourself and let this truth sink in. Know that when you place your trust and faith in Jesus He will align this week (and every week) accordingly.
If you have never experienced a Hope beyond yourself we encourage you to check out an Easter service this weekend. If you don’t have a church home we would love to invite you to join us at The Journey Church.
Happy Easter Week!
