COT:
1 Cor 15 again. Is Jesus really alive? It makes all the difference in the world. If not, I have spent a lot of time talking to no one in particular and should be pitied like someone who is unstable.

I’ve also lost out on chances to get the last word in, make myself look better than I really am, and denied my cravings for no reason. But if he is, then I know someone who has (or is) resurrection power, says he’ll be with me, and that all things will work for my good.

If so, then…

Vanity >>> purpose
Death >>> life
Despair >>> hope
Fleeting time >>> eternity
Sin >>> forgiveness
Brokenness >>> redemption
Failure >>> victory
Bondage >>> freedom
Darkness >>> light

Shared a bit on the significance of Easter, particularly why Jesus had to die and had to rise again. Jesus death was in our place as the recipient of the penalty we deserved and His resurrection proved Him to be more than just another man to die on a cross

COT:
In Psalm 18 David went through a trial. He wrote of how God helped him and delivered him from death. Also, David had kept his hands clean as he went through the trial. He “kept himself from sin” in verse 23. I reflected on a recent difficult situation and this part of PS 18 came to mind. I know that I am not perfect, but I didn’t have anything that I needed to reconcile, make up for, apologize for, etc. It doesn’t always happen like that for me, but in this case, I was glad that I could say that.

Still in need of sharpening – YHC, FixerUpper
