"And from everyone who has been given much, much shall be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more."
Luke 12:48
As we all come down from the sugar high of Easter, what are some ways we can live Easter all year? In the Bible study I am currently in (Anointed Transformed Redeemed), Priscilla Shirer wrote about the benefits and responsibilities of being one of God's children. She writes, "God's desire to bless His children with abundance and blessing is seen from the very beginning of the Old Testament and into the church age. However, his blessing was most often tied to a requirement on the part of those He loved." The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is a free gift to us, but a heart in line with God should be compelled to take on the responsiblities that go along with the benefits. I hope you'll listen to the following song and look for ways this week to be Jesus to the world (or in our world of Trussville) by being "his voice calling, his hands healing, his feet walking to a broken world." By just simply loving others whether it's the clerk at the grocery store who needs a friendly face or the person who cuts you off in traffic because they must be in a bigger hurry than you are. Or in my case, the daughter who is pushing all of your buttons! Jesus needs our help to do His good work. Will you be His love?
