One of the highlights of our Easter celebration is coloring the eggs and hiding them for the children. There is much excitement and anticipation as they try to find the grand prize egg. The colors of the eggs can remind us of the simple Gospel of Jesus.

Luke 24:1-7

In spite of the amount of time they spent with Him and the many truths He shared with them, the followers of Jesus didn’t seem to “get” what He was all about, what He was about to do and why He came. His resurrection changed all that.

Luke 18:31-34
I Corinthians 1:23, 24
I Corinthians 2:7,8

Scriptures: John 8:1-10;  Leviticus 20:10; Psalm 51:1-3; Revelation 5:1-10

Are you carrying your rock, ready to cast it at those whom you’ve decided are sinners? What does Jesus’ teach us about condemnation and accusations?

Scriptures: Genesis 2:2-3; Matthew 11:28-30; 1 Peter 1:22; Psalm 23:2; Mark 6:32; Galatians 6:9

God’s message is very clear. If creation didn’t crash when God took a “timeout”, neither will our lives. How thin can you spread yourself until you’re no longer there? God doesn’t intend for us to lives our lives at warp speed without rest.

Scripture: Matthew 7:24-27

A stable foundation is required when a house is built. In the same way, our lives must be built on solid rock. Jesus taught us not to just hear His words but to do them. He is our foundation, and anything else is sure to fall.

We have many measuring tools in our kitchens and workshops. We keep track of time with our clocks and watches. But are any tools or gadgets adequate to measure the love of God?

Scripture: John 3:16

Employment offers many benefits, but what about one who is in service to the Lord? We all are familiar with the retirement plan awaiting the Christian, but what other benefits do we enjoy?

Scripture:  II Timothy 4:1-9
