Post-Easter

Easter has come and gone again! 4 days (and a few weeks before) of hot cross buns, and chocolate. Now it is time for a diet and detox...sigh.

But this is also the time to reflect on what God did that first Easter. To look at the cross and resurrection with fresh eyes. Allowing God to bring about new life in us once again.

Following the calendar of events, we are inbetween the resurrection and the ascension. The disciples were in a period of time when things were falling into place. Prophecy and teachings now made sense. There was an excitement that they didn't have before. Jesus is alive!

They got to watch Jesus return to Heaven with the promise that He would come back for them. But in the meantime, they would have Pentecost. The Spirit came in Acts 2 in power and glory. Calvary and Pentecost are connected. God is with us through the presence of His Spirit. I am pleased to say that there is a freshness in my life that I didn't have last week. Praise God for that! With moving house and all that, I needed renewal. But what I really want is a fresh Pentecost. Join with me in that prayer!
