At our family gathering on Easter
Sunday I met our newest great-grand son. He looked content, lying there cradled in his father’s arms. Never fussed. Kicked his legs and waved his arms about, then went to sleep while people were
talking, laughing, visiting.
Quietly
sleeping while the Boston Marathon – won for the first time in 30 years by an American, by the way – was being run, safely this time. And what Putin was planning in
far-off Russia didn’t bother him either.
And I said to my grandson, “You know, this is the
best time of life, isn’t it? Look at Conner, sleeping. Everything taken care
of, his needs quickly met, and he is safe, sleeping and growing, and not even
worrying about tomorrow.”
Then
another thought. Easter Sunday. “He is Risen, Christ is Risen, Hallelujah” we
said joyfully in the service just hours ago.
Isn’t
that what it means for us, for all believers? That the same Lord who is risen also
said, “I will be with you, even to the end of the earth”. And this same living Lord
also said, “Cast all your care upon Him, for He careth for you”.
At the end of Matthew chapter 6 in His
Sermon on the Mount Jesus said:
“Seek ye first the Kingdom of
God and His righteousness, and all
Things will be added unto
you. Take therefore no thought for the
Morrow; for the morrow shall
take thought for the things of itself,
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” Matthew
6,33.34
So, A blessed Easter.
