The Easter holiday is behind us. We mourned the death on a cross but we also rejoiced in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. One event is meaningless without the other. Without the sacrifice of Jesus there would not be payment for our sins and without His resurrection death would still maintain its hold over us. But with both we have not only our sins cleansed but also the righteousness of Christ bestowed upon us so that we may enter into the presence of the Almighty God. What a glorious thought. May we not forget as we get back to the daily requirements of school and work.
April is spring sports and year-end trips. Baseball, softball, soccer, track, and tennis are in the middle of their seasons. Afternoon matches and 7:00 pm baseball games are the norm now. In addition, the band is getting ready to leave for their trip to Washington DC and the spring Home Missions Class goes to Nashville. STEM day and the physics field trip to Six Flags are rapidly approaching and then there are all the year-end celebrations being planned. We have a lot of events that can distract us, but we need to remain focused on our purpose and our mission.
School ends in about six weeks, less for our seniors, and our time for this year is coming to a close. As teachers plan their closing weeks and students look forward to the summer break, it seems as if we are always looking ahead. While planning for the future is a good thing, let’s not forget to live today. God has given us each day to rejoice and be glad in it. Easter is all about what God has done for us so that we may live in relationship with him today.
